For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for wholeness and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. (Jer 29:11)

Complications and Concerns

Our social worker in CO met with the CO judge this morning.  The judge was not happy with several areas of how our adoption worked out (Utah laws and Utah agency issues).  The most significant issue is that the birth father was never actually contacted before we adopted Blake.  The Utah agency made an attempt to find the father, but because he was never actually found there is a slim chance he could turn up eventually and, in a federal court, gain custody of Blake.  We either need to find the birth father and finalize here in CO meeting CO requirements, or we can go to Utah and finalize there.  Unfortunately, if we finalize in Utah with out ever finding the birth father there is the risk he could show up some day.  We are praying and seeking wisdom at this time to decide what would be the best course for us to take.  Needless to say, this is unexpected and has us very concerned.
