September 27 2013

September 27 2013 is another important date that our family will always remember.

This day Durant's birth father's parental rights were automatically terminated!

The state of Ohio allows the birth father 30 days to claim his child before his parental rights will be terminanted.

We are lucky that we only had to wait 30 days. Some states require longer. I believe NJ is 120 days....YIKES!

This means that our adoption will have no inturruptions from a bioligical family member. We still have monthly home visits from our social worker to make sure we are "sutiable parents." And we will continue to have these visits until we finalize in about 5 months...

So we wait until we finailze.
