We received the DRAFT of our petition to adopt! Talk about emotional! It's the document we give to the court to request "legal guardianship" of our sweet Ezra! It petitions also to change his name to our chosen name of Ezra Daniel Baltzly! WOW! LOVE IT!
We signed the verification this morning and will mail it to our attorney tomorrow, once she receives it and signs it, she'll finally file it with the court to give us our hearing date. In the petition it says no later than 60 days from the filing, but it shouldn't take that long to set the hearing AT ALL. I've heard they are about 30 days out. One month, so not bad. Can't wait for this to be final!
Keep praying for our sweet Chavalah now. There is another hearing October 8 to finalize the publication, and at that point, we're praying judge has favor for our request to schedule a termination hearing immediately. I'll be in Iowa during that hearing, but I plan on calling the attorney and asking what resulted from the hearing and will try and post from Iowa when I hear.
This is all for now, but I'll keep posting as I can. Hopefully some pictures of the kids next time!
