7 MONTHS AND FINALLY FREE!

I can't believe it's already been 7 months.  Time flies when you're HAPPY and having FUN!  This is the view I get to take in everyday when we're out for a jog...which mostly turns in to a walk because our pug doesn't like to run.  In fact she's not a big fan of walking either and by the end she's riding up on top.  But I digress.  I got a phone call this week informing us that Brady is 'legally free'. GREAT NEWS!  We are excited to get this ball rolling as fast as we can.  The cop tells me he has connections in the land of judges and is hoping to move this process along from 'finally free' to 'adopted' faster than the 6 weeks we were told it would take.  So far we have a date of May 30th, but I'll keep you posted if anything changes.  Until then, we are so thrilled that this part of our journey is coming to an end.  No more permission slips for overnight visits, no more monthly visits or court dates, no more usage of the name "Michael Haven"...thank GOODNESS.  (can't tell you how many times I'd be at the doctor's office waiting room with him and have the nurses come out announcing "Michael....Michael?"  Only to have me obliviously sitting there, not paying attention because we never call him by that name.)  Almost there...
