"We've got Ezra."

Well, okay, sort of. And okay, normally you hear it being said in the Annie movie, "We've got Annie." Today was a day that will go down in our history book. I finally contacted Erza's attorney since things haven't moved ONE SINGLE INCH since his termination last November (6 1/2 months ago). The attorney's office definitely agreed with us that things should've been passed along to an adoption worker a LONG time ago. They contacted Ezra's social worker directly, she actually answered her phone and "said," like she always does, that she'll have the case turned over to an adoption worker by next week. The attorney's office said if that's not completed when she gets back into the office on June 23, that she will be calling Carole's supervisor to mandate that happen IMMEDIATELY and then we will FINALLY officially be considered "in the adoption process" with Ezra! Can't believe we are finally to the next step on Ezra's case. He'll be fifteen months next week, and we are more than ready to call him our own officially. So, please be praying specifically on June 23 that we can hear officially that an adoption worker finally has the case and can move forward with it. That's only the beginning of the next huge set of hurdles we'll have to cross, but we're ready for it! Thanks for tagging along with us in this process!

Still no word the other family has accepted the placement on Adalinne, so we're hanging on as hard as we can right now. Hoping nothing changes. Still some natural hesitation though. If we hear more, we'll let you know through here.
