I am gonna be a mommy again!

Ok, kinda a teaser ... I think you all know our foster kiddos saga ... We had court today and the mother relinquished her rights to both children (after offering to "give" us one for the other) and the judge then terminated. It is sad for her, but good for us and the kids. We take the kids for the last goodbye tomorrow. That ought to be a big friggin mess of a morning. My hubby is taking the day off work and we are going to do something extra special with them after the goodbye visit. We expect to move to the adoption phase by early November and then finalize by Dec/Jan. WOOO HOOOO!

I am happy for you !!!!!!! Now that this chapter is closing you can get on to a more normal life without this stuff hanging over you. GET SOME REST YOU WILL NEED IT Tori

Wow Jen that is awesome news. I know how much you wanted them and that should make things great for them. (I know it will be hard when they are older and realize what happened) You are a remarkable woman. And at least this way you don't have to worry about the baby weight! Hugs, Chris

Congrats Jen, that is wonderful news.

Jen- It has to be such a relief to see that the end may be in sight (and hopefully it's not the 'train'). All of your kiddos are very fortunate to have someone like you and your husband who care for them so much to go through all of this........ God bless you and ALL your family Rose from PA

Congrats and God bless all of you for the love and compassion you so generously share.... ~Tiffany

{{{{JEN}}}} I am soooo happy for you and your children. You are an angel for giving those kids a life they deserve! It will be hard for their birth Mother, it's true...but I am sure she understands that she is not fit to provide for them. BIG TIME CONGRATULATIONS on your big (!!), happy family! God bless you all! All my love and hugs, Jersey Mom

Jen that's some awesome news!!!!!! Congratulations to you and your family. I guess their mother finally realized the whole situation is about the children and not her. Glad she decided to do what's best for them. April

Oh Jen, I am so happy for you all! What a great Christmas/New Year's gift for the whole family!
