So Gavin had a doctors appointment today! He is growing so well! It just amazes me how much he has changed and how much love I have for that little guy! He is actually 2 1/2 months and he is the perfect weight the doctor said! He is 11lbs 3oz and 23" long! He is in the 50% for height and 25-50% for weight! His little belly button was still oozing yucky green stuff and he still had a little piece of umbicial cord coming out (sorry I don't remember the technical term) but they basically burned it and it will fall off! sounds bad but it didnt hurt him at all! He had to get 2 shots and it was so sad! He is still not having such a great day cause of them!
During the exam the doctor did find a heart murmer so he had to have a chest xray this morning too! So we are praying that God would just take care of his little heart murmer.
Other than that he is doing just great!
I just got a court update on Gavin! We need some big time prayer! Everything is still looking good but it is looking like this could be a long case! Here are the possibilities!
I guess they had begun the relinquishment process with Gavin's biological mother and they recently have been trying to get ahold of the mom and they have been unable to contact her! This creates a problem or can I should say! We want this adoption to just become a for sure thing!
1. If they get ahold of mom they can have her finish the relinquishment paperwork! That would free him for adoption and we would finally be able to move forward with the adoption! Which they say he would be adopted by the time he is 1!
2. If they can not find mother they will go to court and give her reunification services and begin a du-diligance on her! basically that is the process of finding her! This will take a minium of 6 months! If at that time they still haven't found her they will do a publication which is another 90 days! If at that time still nothing they will move forward with terminating rights and we would be able to move into adoption which takes 6-12 months to complete! If this is the process we go thru with Gavin he will be a year old by the time they are ready to terminate rights from a mother who wanted it to happen from the get go! And he would be almost 2 by the time his adoption was complete!
3. But we did hear that the judge has every capability to put Gavin on a fast track which means they go straight to termination of parental rights! This would free him up for adoption! They say fast track kids take about 6 months to complete!
So we are asking that you pray either the first scenario or the third scenario happens! We want to avoid the second completely!
When Aaden and Abby came to us their next court day was supposed to be termination of parental rights and now almost 2 years later we are STILL trying to terminate parental rights! We actually go to court tomorrow Jan. 6th and we are supposed to be terminating parental rights! But just last week we were told there is a good chance for another 90 day continuation! For something that is so dumb!!! So we really dont want to go thru this with Gavin too! It is a horrible emotional roller coaster and we are ready to get off!!
