Termination

We went to court last week and, just as we had expected, we were given the green light to start the adoption process!  We were so happy we cried tears of joy.  That night we took you out for treats and sat in wonder, just watching you.  We wished you could understand how we felt and that you'd remember this.  But, you just played ran around the room at Gibson's Frozen Yogurt and nibbled on mama's strawberries in between climbing on the children's table and perpetually asking to go downstairs.

This is the happiest time in our lives.

While we are so overjoyed, we also mourn.  We know, without a doubt, that they love our son, their son.  They are addicts who have no support at all.  They are lost.  While I know that they've been given opportunities to improve, opportunities that others in their situation would kill for, they've chosen not to get help.  And I cant understand it.  There's a perfect boy living a happy life who has probably forgotten that they exist.
