A bit of Info

So I received a bit of good news today. The lawyer that was contacted said that it's never been done before but he's willing to try with regards the emergency hearing to get legal guardianship faster. So that's good news, but I need a bit more than he's "willing to try". So they've asked for more info from him and are asking if he'd like to talk to the lawyers that do this all the time in Florida. Then I'm going to need a 'we think this will work" before I'm really comfortable. But this is a step in the right direction!

Nothing new

That about sums it up. The people that need to talk to each other haven't yet. It's frustrating.

Update

I talked to my agency in BC which said it may be possible to get 'emergency guardianship' agueing that it is in the best interest of the child to be placed with me as soon as possible. But the kicker is that because of vacation times the two people that need to talk to each other to discuss if this is a possibility wont be able to until next Tuesday. I hate this. I don't want to think anymore. I can't let myself think that September might be on again, because it might not be and I can't go throught that roller coaster again. But a part of me hopes. So everything is on pause, for now.

Bitter Disappointment, Anger and Crying

So I called today to see what the status of the financial info was as it was supposed to be to me this week and it's Friday. I found out the financial info is being held up by them not knowing for sure if legal guardianship is required or temporary guardianship, but they told me they are almost positive legal guardianship is required which means 45 day. 45 days before I could get my baby. Which means I'll have to say 'no' to her which is breaking my heart to pieces. So many pieces. Also this has nothing to do with her father being unknown. All babies from Nevada would have to undergo this 45 days as legal guardianship they are pretty sure is a Hague requirement. They are going to double check with the attorney and make sure he doesn't have a 'in' with a judge that could get us in quicker but I'm really not holding my breathe. So the way it's standing right now I can't adopt from Nevada at all, so nice to know after working with them for several months on the premise I could. But I just can't afford to carry two households for 45 days or to have someone care for my baby for 45 days, plus miss the first 45 days of her life. Also not being her guardian for the first 45 days, I'm not even sure now much access I'd even have to her. The agency does do 20% of there adoptions in Utah and is checking out for me how long it takes to get guardianship in Utah, which they think is much quicker. But at this particular moment. I don't have the heart to even think about starting all over again. I've gone from an agency working in Utah to and agency in Nevada to the same agency working in Utah!! What the heck!! What a day. So many tears as dreams for September, slowly die
