Terminating parental rights is not something that you can do quickly. As with most legal matters, you have to give them a chance to sign the papers themselves, then they have to be served to appear in court, then you have to wait for the court date, then it comes and when Ray didn't show, his parental rights were over. This took forever and Ryan was nearly a month old, and yet did not have any parents. Until I found out that Ray had no rights to try to take Ryan from me, I couldn't relax. I was so scared that he would try to fight me to keep Ryan, and I would never let that man raise this amazing little child. On the other hand, I was in no condition mentally, physically or financially to raise him myself, so the termination had to go through, luckily it did. Now we could proceed with getting Ryan into his new home.
Then next step would be to meet R. and J. and I was terrified.
