But Colorado Law allows for the mother to change her mind up to 6week after the child is born! She did it in 3 days. Every thing was done, paper work wise...court hearing was schedualed for 6weeks after the birth. Lawyer did his part well...We paid just over $4500. for his work...no money back there....We have tried to adopt for over 13 years...infact we got the law changed in Nebr, and not in the good way! Seems we had gone to all the state required classes for 6 months...and on graduation day (as they called it) the head of the foster adopt dept was there to give out the certificates. She would not even shake our hand when we were called up to the stage to get ours. The next day, literally, the law was changed by her. It now read that "No person, who is a foster parent, or foster adopt parent, may reside with another person of the same, or opposite sex, out of wedlock" That little change eliminated over 50% of the foster homes in the state. The state was really scrambeling to find homes for all the kids that suddenly had none.
We even had a friend who had to marry her live in boyfriend, just to keep her adopted child as the law affected her even though she adopted 4 years earlier. She divorced him 3 weeks later as they both really didnt want to get married to each other...funny huh?
Shit happens... and we pooped the most I guess.
Thanks for your thoughts and keep up the good work here on Oasis.
