Wow, we really just now stepped on the roller coaster ride of adoption. I think we may have just been standing in line for the past 2.5 years. (that was a LONG line!)
We got news today that the bio-mom of our soon to be adoptive kids, who already have TPR (terminated parental rights), is appealing the court's decision. I am not sure what this means.. but here is what we've been told:
That it will not change our plans. These children are still currently classified as "legally free for adoption"
The kids will still move in with us in July (unless things change again, which can happen), because it is still the court's plan to place them in an adoptive family as soon as possible (after school is out)
There is almost NO chance that this bio-mom will be awarded her rights back.
Arrow (our agency) hasn't ever had any case like this settled in favor of the bio-parents. Not sure about the state's precedence on this kind of thing, but I called our lawyer today to discuss, got her voice mail and hopefully she'll be able to help us!
They may change status from an adoptive placement to foster placement, but hey, that means more money to help take care of them, which wouldn't be the end of the world.
That's all we know for now.
Hopefully I can have a good update next time I hear something.
