I knew last night things was going crazy when I got a message from a lady on the plea bargain for the murder of her son. I say murder because that is exactly what I qualify anyone who kills a child even as Shaking Baby. I will be posting more on that later.
Before I go any farther if you haven't read the news on James' adoption you may want to here.
However, today it got worse. James' grandma called first thing and asked if I got a call. No I never got a call should I have? Now mind you we are on with Illinois Department of Corrections as victims where they are to notify us of the upcoming release of James' egg donor. This morning Judy got the call but I didn't, I said "it has to be a mistake. I just looked two days ago and it still said August 26th." They never called or emailed me early to let me know different. I hurried to my email sure enough there it was she was released. I ran to IDOC sure enough she was released there too with a big old smile from ear to ear that I just wanted to smack off of her!
Then a scare came upon me. The order of protection had expired when she was in prison and they told us we had to wait till it got closer to redo it. Then I remember her grandma called Eric a few days ago wanting to know if Laura could see James. I just started crying I knew we had to act fast but didn't know what to do. In our county an organization has to help you do the order of protections they don't allow you to just walk in. Eric calmed me down and hurried to call them after calling the court house. The lady told us to hurry and get to the court house she would see to it we got in front of the judge. Well, we got the emergency order of protection till August 13th.
I told Eric after talking to the advocate and her agreeing we can't wait till the 27th of August for the adoption. I called the county where the adoption is and finally after a hassle got it moved up to July 30th. Eric called the guardian ad litem she agreed she can be there.
Now there is more to this. We no more then got home and Eric's phone rings it was Laura's grandma said Laura wants to see James. Laura is screaming in the background. Eric talked to her and told her he wasn't going to listen to her or argue. In order for her to have a last SUPERVISED visit at THE COURT HOUSE then the adoption will be done first. No more playing games with her, it was our way or no way. He explained no matter what we went and got the order of protection and we would see to it James is safe. She told him she was intending to sign the adoption papers she just wants to see him. Eric explained no matter what she isn't getting visitation to him once he is adopted she is out our lives. Mind you last time all she wanted was to flirt with Eric. Now here comes the good part. She asked him if he will be at that visit Eric told her it was up to the judge but he would agree if he did as long as I was there. She said "oh so Renee too?" We then knew what she had in mind once again. Then she through in "oh by the way me and so and so is back together" Eric said "great wonderful but I heard that story before". He then told her he had to go and would see her the 30th for her not to contact us anymore because she will be served the next day or two with an emergency order of protection.
I will admit I am scared, excited, nervous, and just going nuts. I know how this girl works, I know all she wants is one thing and it isn't James. I as well know one minute she says she is going to sign then she says she isn't. I keep saying only 7 days please hang on 7 more days. Hard to believe even more prison time hasn't changed this girl. Not that I really care as long as she is out of our life especially James' forever. My baby boy deserves to be safe and happy. If you pray please we need them right now.

We will keep praying here, praying all will go well and this will be finally DONE WITH and she will be out of his life.... out of all your lives.
(((((((((((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))))))))))))
try to relax and think about the positive stuff.
you are in my thoughts! things will be just fine!
Renee, if that woman has not seen the light yet no amount of time is going to change her. It is very sad that she is using this precious child to play games with. I will be praying that all goes well and she does not change her mind or try to make any additional trouble for you. I know you mentioned she will have no rights to see James after the adoption but I am curious if you will still have a restraining order. We know she is suppose to stay away but having that paper that says so will give you so much relief.
thanks for the comments by the way!
Thanks for posting to Fugitives from Ignorance, Conformity, and Peer Pressure
Make sure when he is in school that the school has what they need to make sure no one lets her take him from the school. They need to know so they won't fall for anything. I went through this with my older children.
That school is going to know that is for sure along with the OP copy.
