COURT Update

WE WERE APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obviously we still have the 10 day wait until we gain official custody of Cassidy but at least this stress is over. Court went very well. The judge was very nice, and Dennis got the majority of the questions. Thankfully Sveta prepared us for everything. We found out that not only did they speak to the birth mother, but they also had the grandmother and aunt sign a release waiver (just in case). So we are very happy!!! Soon we will be a family of 5.
Thank you everyone for all your support & prayers!!!
Love Stephanie & Dennis
