As good as it gets, after 6 tries. (I mean with the camera, not the amount of children.) Poor Nate is hiding.

Bitter Sweet Joy

How do you rejoice over the loss of one mother's rights for her children. Today was a victory for the Nuckolls household, but I am having a hard time feeling true joy. The birth mother of our boys lost her rights today and even if I want to sing for joy because now we can move on with our adoption I'm finding it hard. Yes, her rights have been terminated, but that doesn't mean she doesn't exist anymore. They still have a birth mother and it's not me. The victory is all on paper and I pray that over the next several months the victory would be in all our hearts as well.

Now we wait for an adoption worker and spend the next 5-6 months having a lawyer do paperwork. The summer is almost here and the stress of the school year is winding down as we now try and figure out what to do this summer. Baby's crying and so my time on the internet is now up.
