Looks like we may have some more challenges ahead before we finalize our adoption with Blake. The judge who normally works with local families here in Colorado has recently retired and the new judge does not like or approve Utah laws and will not sign off on our finalization. He has agreed to talk with some other judges before he makes a definitive decision. If he does not agree to finalize then we will need to hire a lawyer and finalize in Utah (do I see a possible family road trip in the near future?!). Our prayer is that the judge would be convinced to finalize the adoption here in Colorado, but if that is not in God's plans then we would ask that we would be able to travel to Utah and complete this process quickly and easily. We have a week or two before the judge will make a final decision.

oh jamie, that totally stinks...for lack of a better word! moseby was born feb. 26 and we finalized june 7th. i know how much finalization means to everyone...i pray the judge will finalize your adoption in colorado!
Whether we are home or not, our home is open to you if you have to come to UT. I don't know if the Pregnancy Crises Center in Ogden would know of an adoption lawyer, or not. I can put you in touch with our friend who is the director of the center if you need that information. We will be praying for you.
Glenda, you and your husband have been so gracious! We look back with such gratefulness on the time we spent with you both during Blake's adoption. Thank you so much for your offer, we will definately keep you posted on how this plays out.
