Popular Post Pamela H in Texas Posted May 19, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2015 Today, TPR was granted. Our son's adoption should be late August or so. His name will be Benjamin Wyatt. We are very excited. We hope the parents get their lives together and can be healthy and happy one day. 67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottakee Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Congrats. So happy you can finalize so quickly. We had to wait 2 years after TPR due to appeals and bio relatives out of state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katy Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Congratulations! I LOVE his name! We're considering foster-adopt after several years of repeated miscarriages trying to complete our family, so I'm so happy to hear that the process worked out well, and I'm thrilled little Benjamin will now have such a wonderful family!

Pamela H in Texas Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 Thank y'all so much. We are really so blessed and thankful. We have to get used to calling him his name rather than "Squishy" which is what we've used for ten months now. Crazy :)Ottakee, obviously, it is possible there could be that sort of hiccup but it isn't expected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMV Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Congratulations! I hope everything is smooth sailing to adoption. In our experience, with DD15, once we got the TPR it was. All of the drama occurred during the three year plus TPR process between various appeals, and continuances. Ironically with DFD11 and DFD6 we thought it would all be much simpler because we didn't need a TPR (as both parents are sadly deceased and MGF is in full favor of us adopting) but DFD6's health problems have delayed everything. We're seriously considering waiving the subsidy so we can just finalize because it isn't like we aren't going to adopt her no matter what the rest of these tests do say and in one case I really think that the test will not change how we manage things now or really even in the future and will be difficult/painful for her so we would like to just skip it. Our pediatrician is in favor of that approach from a medical standpoint and while the geneticist thinks the test will be helpful even he admitted it is somewhat his own intellectual curiosity that would be helped.

Pamela H in Texas Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 Oh, we adopted the first kids with outstanding medical testing, but they qualified based on being a sibling group. Squishy qualifies for subsidy based on what is known though he is being followed by everyone and his brother. Now, we are going to leveling in June which is dependent on documentation. That will affect the amount of subsidy. But I'm not going to fight it. What they give us, they do. I just don't care that much. I almost didn't bother.

Our pediatrician is in favor of that approach from a medical standpoint and while the geneticist thinks the test will be helpful even he admitted it is somewhat his own intellectual curiosity that would be helped. I would highly suggest AGAINST that. I have known families that have waived the subsidy and then years later something comes up where the subsidy would have been extremely beneficial. It isn't just about the money but about the services that having the subsidy opens up to you.........at least here in Michigan that is the case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
