We are so excited!!! This has been so long in coming - it feels like a huge wieght has been lifted!!

Just wanted to share!!!

Yippee!!!

I can sorta relate...my best friend and her husband are fighting for custody of his 3 year old and the mother is being a serious B about it!! She even called social services because she came home with a 'mysterious' bruise on her bottom!! UMmm, helloooooo all 3 years bruise and they are all a mystery! geez!

But congrats you! I know it was a long haul

Well, she's 6 so legally they don't give her any say. Before the signing my hubby had been given temporary full custody after mom broke their initial agreement and tried to move her 4 hours away. So the schedule has been Mom has 3 weekends of the 4 (Friday-Sunday) with one long one including Thursday, and then also alternating Wednesdays between Grandparents. This way she actually does have a couple more days with Mom (if Mom chooses). Now we just do the grandparent thing with whomever she's with. Makes things much easier and hopefully a lot more stable for Sierra.

She doesn't have any knowledge of everything that has been going on - we really don't think that would be fair to her. But at this point, she seems pretty happy with the new schedule. I'm sure it will take some getting used to though!
