    OMG.. i haven't updated!!
    Soooooooooooo... The parental rights were not terminated.. UNTIL Jan. 10 2018.. we will now be adopting that sibling group August 10 at a Hearing in the County Courthouse!!
    everything is all done, the lawyer have us on the docket! i missed NADA mostly cuz we had the kids in Orlando at Disney World.. and they got to meet my wife's Venezuelan family from Caracas and Calgary!! its been a hell of a ride.. they kids are healthy and adjusted.. other then my 2nd grade due to mothers neglect did poorly in first grade .. she should not have been in 2nd grade at all.. so it was recommended she repeat it and we agreed..

    our 1st placement 5 yr old boy.. is still with us since July 31, 2017.. his final hearing was tuesday this week.. CPS was planning to give him back to the father (he was removed from mom's home).. but last week.. both parents came up positive for cocaine on a drug test.. however, this lab has a terrible reputation for false positives.. mom took another test and came up negative.. Dad is taking another one by this friday.. but now.. the case has been extended another 6 months.. so i will still have the little guy till FEB.. with his next court hearing Nov. 4th.. apparently.. CPS is really going to be looking at the father alot more closely (he was the non offending parent and kind of had a free pass) .. he will probably get more drug tests and some more service plans to complete..

    either way.. i will still become a dad in August.. and the kids will have NEW birth certificates to prove it!!!!!!

    Skip I am so happy for you all! I hope it all goes on without a hitch and you can enjoy being together. Though you may be officially a father in August you really were one to these children the moment you openned your heart and home to them.

    Congratulations !

    Congratulations to you both Skip and Rosanna. Your 3 new charming kids look very happy and glad they found home into your loving family. As a father myself of 2 daughters they grow fast so try and cherish every day.
    As they develop into teens they can sure drive parents to drink at times. Lol
