Update

The courts are proceeding with no treatment plan for Baby's birth mother and birth father. Hopefully, she will be legally free for adoption before Christmas. Then, if all goes as plan we'll finalize her adoption early next year. Baby will be issued a new birthcertificate, and her name will match the rest of our family's.

A name matters. It does. I took for granted that my bio children would share my last name. And I am anxious for Baby to have our name too. It's not that I want to deny the fact that she was brought to our family through adoption. But there is a sense of belonging that comes in a name. And she's our precious girl.
