Hello, Our story may be common to some but it's very unique to us. We meet our son when he was 3 weeks old and I (Stevonne) was just babysitting him along with his older sister. After some time Anthony and I were asked to adopt him. We agreed because even before we gave birth to our other 3 children, adoption had been something we had discussed as doing but after some time not sure it was still possible for us. After having our son for some time and having custody of him. We then spend over a year in an unfortunate custody battle for our son. But now all of that is over and we are here ready to make this process complete. We love our son and no matter what he is a member of our family and couldn't imagine life without him. We currently have a difficulty with completing the process due to lawyer fees and needing to complete payment for the homestudy prior to the finalizing adoption court date. We hope you find it in your heart to donate to help complete our family because any penny helps. Thank you in your support, encouragement and prayers during this time of our labor of love.
So as many of you that will visit this page knows. We have had our son in our home since he was 5 months old. We have had full legal custody of him since he was a year old. We have completed the initial paperwork for the adoption process and are currently going through the homestudy process.
We are working with an amazing agency and social work. Our attorney has been awesome through the custody process and now the adoption.
We are now at the final stages We have 1 last class to take and 1 last meeting with our social worker Ms Kelly. We are very excited and awaiting a date to finalize in court. We have been informed that it should be by the end of the summer.
This has been a very long and emotional experience but we wouldn't change it for anything.
With our other children we went through the pregnancy and labor to make them apart of our family. With our baby boy this whole process is our labor of love and he will know that all of this was done because we wanted him just as much as we wanted his siblings.
