Hey Kessa,

Was just thinking of you and wondering how things went with the oncologist on the 15th.

So it was a pleasant surprise to see you had posted It is so good to hear from you. I am so happy to hear Brad is recovering so well and your own family is doing good. Sorry about your neices. I sure hope you get to adopt them. They will be in good hands if you do. You care so much.

Good luck on finding a larger house and the adoptions. Keep us posted when you can.

Hi there!

I think most of us have been wondering where you have been! That is great about Brad! I wish some of us all could be as lucky as him. It is wonderful news!
Happy B lated Birhday to your daughter also!

Also that is sad about your brother and his wife. The children are the ones who matter in life. But it is good that you are trying to adopt them, that way they won't be stuck with a bunch of strangers. So hopefully it goes well for the two of you!

And good luck on finding a bigger house, there are plenty on the markets these days. Some of them cost a pretty penny but you can always find a nice house for a good price. Good luck!

Glad to hear that some things are starting to look up for you guys !

Happy b-lated Birthday to Amanda ;D
Good Luck with your family. I hope things work out for everyone.

hey everyone, i thought i would take a min. to give yall an update. well we haven't got the girls yet court is on Monday the 12th, the dhr (department of human recourses) of Montgomery county said that we had nothing to worry about and be sure we bring car-seats with us to court. my brother and his wife on the other hand are totally ticked off at me. i thought i was doing the right thing by keeping them from being separated in a foster home till they turn 18 but he doesn't think so. so i am caught between losing my nieces or my brother . well all i can do is hope for the best. brad and the kids are doing great and all are very excited to see what happens on Monday. i will get back on asap and let everyone know. kessa

[Marie]

Well, thanks for updating us. Glad you can keep the girls together and out of the foster care system. Your brother may come around and realize that you are doing what is best for his kids which should be what is important to him. Hope all turns out for the best for all of you.

Take Care

[Denise]

I believe you are doing the right thing also. Hopefully your brother and wife will come around eventually and see that. Good Luck in court Monday,hoping for the best for everyone!

[ChamZilla]

As well I also believe you are doing the right thing. Brothers can be trying at times and usually they come around when they finish growing up. Glad everything is going well, and good luck on Monday. Just make sure you give them the life you deserve as I'm sure you will. Great job and keep up the good work no matter what your brothers opinion is.

Hey Kessa

I really hope everything works out for the Best!!!

hello everyone well we didnt get the girls the judge said it was because of having the snake and iguana and he didnt want to give me time to adopt them out even though they have both been vet checked and have a great health check. we evn showed him pictures of my children with them but no luck. so they are still in foster care. i am going ahead and trying to adopt them out because there was another court date set for the end of nov. hopefully when we go back to court and the judge see's that we no longer have our wounderful pets we will get to get them...........i just worry that if i do adopt them out then i still wont be able to get them. then i wont have my neices or my pets. so i am at a loss right now either way i go. i also have a question, my sister is wanting to either adopt or buy a baby capuchin or mormoset monkey any of you know where that might be possible? i dont have a clue but i do know she checked into it and it is legal here in alabama to own one.i am sure she would appricate any help you can give her. well thats all for now hope to get more time and get on alot more often kessa

[Marie]

I am sorry you did not get your nieces. I am also sorry you will be giving up your pets but do understand. Please make sure who ever takes them knows about how to care for them and how big the iguana will get. I hope that you will be able to get your nieces then.

[Patrick Kubeja]

Well Me and Courts do not like each other and I believe the judge is not thinking about what is best for the nieces at all!! I am sorry to here what you have to go though to maybe try to adopt your nieces this is sad!!! I hope you did not show them the Many Fish that you have, I could see you having to get rid of them to!!!! This just gets me mad what you have to do to do what it is right for all that is concerned !!!!

I wish you Good Luck!!!!!

[Denise]

Hey Kessa,

I'm so sorry to hear about this very sad situation.
I certanly hope that after giving up your loving pets that the judge will let you have your nieces back in the family where they belong. I have to agree that the judge doesn't seem to be thinking about the girls well being,because strangers can't be as good as family is??
I will be hoping and praying that everything works out for the best. We need some Good news here now! :)Good Luck and Thanks for keeping us updated.

Sorry I don't know anything about those monkey's you have asked about for your sister..but good luck.

[ChamZilla]

This is a very sad situation. I'm deffinatly sorry that you didn't get your neices and that you have to get rid of your pets. But I would try and adopt them out with the knowing that if you can't get the kids back, you could get the pets back. Like trying to find a foster home for them for awhile till the next hearing. It could work if you try I hope you get the kids, but if you don't no use loosing your beloved pets over it also. It is a heartbreaking decision for you and your family. Also I agree that the judge is an insensitive prick and isn't taking into consideration the kids wellbeing at all.

Good luck in what ever you decide to do
