well, the trial WAS set for the 28th of this month. however, the birth father's attorney just remembered that he has something else to do that day.
so we are back to square one.
back to not having a court date.
back to blah.
i ask you, is it
"three strikes and you're out"
or
"third time's a charm"?
because i am having a heck of a time getting my mind around this one. please, cast your vote.
i don't think we are too upset. mr. r and i went out for sushi tonight and chatted. we have learned that some pretty weird stuff is bound to happen to us over and over in our post-placement adoption situations. but we both agree that we feel like the life has been sucked out of us.
if you are trying to get a hold of me and i seem non responsive, don't be offended. it's not you, it's me.

This is every adoptive parents worst nightmare. I was so afraid I'd walk into court only to see the birth father sitting there. Best of luck to you. I hope it all goes well and is finalized soon.
so sorry this is happening to you!
I am a firm believer in "third times a charm!"
I am holding out for third time's the charm.
And to be honest, sushi helps everything anyway. :)
Hope you have a new date soon and that this whole mess will be over.
I would take that as a good sign. That's a complete JOKE that he "forgot" he had something planned that day. Um as a lawyer especially you SHOULD know what your plans are especially if you are getting PAID to have a schedule.
This breaks my heart! Waiting is the worst especially when you can't control the situation. I'm hoping/wishing/praying it's 3rd times a charm for you and that he strikes out.
Oh goodness, more delays! Hang in there!!
I vote this way....
3 strikes HE's out.
3rd time is the Charm for the r family!
:)sending lots of hugs!!!!!
I'm totally voting for 3rd Time's a Charm.
I've worked with attorneys and judges for years (but in the criminal division). Are the rules for a civil proceeding the same- where continuances are only granted once for each side? If so, shouldn't the next setting be firm?
I'm a big believer in third time's the charm. Hang in there and good luck!!
God bless you, Mrs. R. You are a shining and beautiful example of the strength of love that all children's lives should be blessed with. Your little boys know how much you love them now - and in the years to come, when they learn of the passion with which you fought for them, they will really begin to grasp the depth and gravity of that love. Stay strong, and just remember that only the best things in life are worth fighting for....and nothing gets better than your sweet little boys!
Oh how frustrating!! I hate it when you get all emotionally pumped up for something and it gets delayed! Hang in there! You are in our prayers!
I'm so sorry this is happening to you.
I definately think it's 3rd time's a charm!!!
Hang in there!
Limbo. Not a friendly place for the emotions. Keep breathing. We'll all be breathing with you.
THIRD TIMES A CHARM!!!! :)
One more vote for 'third times a charm'. One more evidence of the flakiness of the other side. Speaks well for you I'd say. I'm praying for you but I know all will be well. Hang in there!
I say three strikes he is out, and shouldn't get the right to have a trial...after all you have been put through!
He knows he has no case. Enough said. Just kiss on your little ones for all us supporters.
First...I must say how thankful I am to have found your blog! Love it!
Don't know the full situation here, but having been through the adoption process with my son, I can only imagine the frustration you are feeling now...but I believe the 3rd time will be a charm for you guys. Heavenly Father is in charge...no matter what and I am sure you are being blessed and protected through this process...I have learned through my own infertility/adoption journey that those events that are sometimes postponed (which are out of our control) are sometimes for our benefit in the end. God bless you and your family through this process and keep the faith!
third time's a charm- hands down! I can't imagine the stress you are going through right now, but I do know you are handling things better than I would. I'm not this strong. You are probably familiar with this scripture, but sometimes it helps to read it when you are going through a hard time: D&C 121 7-9. Hang in there! We're all here for you with warm hearts and friendly hands :)
PS I love your new family pictures and can't wait until you post more! You guys should have been the benner fam :)
Def a third time's the charm. No doubt.
(hugs)
