Koley court update

Today was bittersweet. Today was the 4th trip to the courthouse in so many months. We had 3 continuances with some "wrenches" thrown in the mix. Trip two was continued because his biological father decided after 8.5 years of no contact that he wanted to be "apart of his life." It's kind of a long story but to make it super short, I left when Koley was one. I said stay out of my life and I will stay out of yours. Part of the court process is that Kole's father is notified. The third trip was continued due to Kole's GAL (lawyer of sorts)not showing, which was actually a blessing in disguise. Kole's father did show to court last week, much to every one's surprise. When it was continued to this week I thought for sure he would be there. Guess what! He didn't show. Don't know why I thought he would show. Last week they made the 3 hour round trip and missed a day of work, surely they wouldn't do that a week later. I was relieved that he wasn't there but again so very let down by him. I don't know why after all these years he would do the right thing.

Custody has now been set and even though we requested this process and custody change it sucks. I knew it was coming but didn't realize how badly it would hurt.

Just because I miss my boy, I thought I'd share some of my favorite photographs!
