I think it might really happen

Our attorney will be filing for adoption on December 10 and we are told that it might be finalized before the end of the month. <crossing my fingers>

We have an appointment with the attorney today at 1:30 pm CST to sign the paperwork necessary for filing. I'll find out then when he will actually get to file.

Amina, Desmond is doing pretty good (for a 5 year old who thinks he is the ruler of the world). He missed the cut-off for Kindergarten by 2 days, but it was probably good for him. He is in a very good preschool and is just now starting to read! He is playing basketball at the Y (now, that is hilarious...watching 4-5 year olds try to play a basketball game) and a very outgoing, charming, mischievous child. He still sees his biological mother (with us) and we will continue to allow it as long as she continues on a positive path.

Fussy baby, but so glad to hear Desmond is doing well!

I adopted that cutie in my siggie pictures this summer!

Take care!

The holidays have somewhat slowed the paperwork process, so we are still waiting

Sounds like par for the course. With adoption, it seems like it's always hurry up and wait. I wish you patience on the journey
