Fabi has un-officially become Cooper! (as of March 18th, the last day that the birth parents or relatives could appeal the termination of parental rights) I decided to begin calling him Cooper now that the adoption is underway. I hope for everything to be finalized within a month or two. Yahoo! Cooper is adjusting nicely to his new name, although it is hard for me to remember at times!! I think he will always be my baby Fabi!
Please pray for us as we enter this season of waiting - waiting for paperwork to be filed, for caseworkers to plan meetings, and for the final court date to be scheduled. I am trusting that God will faithfully bring Cooper into the Bates family as soon as is best, but sometimes it is hard to wait! I can't imagine a day when we can live without the constraints of the foster care system. Soon we will be able to leave the county without permission, go to the pediatrician without a bunch of extra paperwork, and I can let family and friends babysit without a foster care license!
He is well worth the wait!
