So after my nervous breakdown on Thursday it was time to regroup. Patience was clearly not prevailing here so we thought legal counsel might be the way to go. We called the best lawyer in town (he comes highly recommended in these types of cases) and we told him our story. He said "he could definitely help us out" saying that although we assume that CAS knows how to handle these cases legally they often do not. It is often out of their realm of legal knowledge. He proceeded to tell us that on average only around 8 cases with this kind of complications come to light each year and of those 8 cases more then half of them are in "Private Adoption Scenarios". So, as it turns out, calling him was a smart move. He is going to look into this for us and give them a call on Monday and explain their legal options to them. He said that if it's only a phone call keeping our family apart then he should be able to resolve this quite easily! Simply by just calling whoever he needs to call (aka: the Aunt or Birthfather or Lawyer).
Brilliant isn't it? That is why we hired the guy. Because clearly the obvious does not escape HIM.
FINALLY!!! Somebody out there gets it. Sure we have to pay him to GET IT, but he gets it and that is going to be worth every last penny.
So at the 11th hour when things could not look more bleak. A night in shinning armor came riding into our world to save the day.
Don't you just love modern day heroes? I know I sure do!

Here is hoping that the Big Gun gets through to CAS and turns their light bulb on so that is shines on you, Paul and Sadie.
GREAT!!! I hope that this lawyer gets things rolling. *Sadie's rights need to be looked after, and CAS is just prolonging that little girl's happiness with her new family!!!
One more comment .......... I wouldn't think that the birth dad has a lawyer that he pays for himself, so I would be surprised if his lawyer puts up too much of a fight. This would just be one more file off his desk that's piling up. Here's hoping that this is the case, and your lawyer can resolve this issue ASAP ....... for *Sadie's sake, and yours.
After reading this, I got goosebumps which means that I have a really really really good feeling about this. You are your husband need to stay strong for Sadie!!!! YOU ROCK!!!
