Adoption Edicto: Publishing Our Intent
Well: we're getting much closer!Only a year practically, from the date of when we and the girls were matched up last year!
There is a social worker visit/final family functioning evaluation due, assigned by the Nicoya Family Court, but we have NO idea when this will happen. It's been pending for at least 2 months. It takes something to get someone to come from Nicoya to where we live, and that is an item that could hold up the end of the process for many, many more weeks. It's one of maybe three items left for the adoption to be finalized here in Costa Rica.
Here is the Edicto (notice of public intent to adopt, published in the paper here):
Se avisa que en este Despacho bajo el expediente numero 09-000142-0869-FA, los senores Heidi Dawn y Richard Hamilton Chalmers, solicitan se apruebe la adopcion conjunta de las personas menores de edad Maria Celeste y Francini Ambas XXXX. Se concede a los interesados el plazo de cinco dias para formular oposiciones mediante escrito donde expondran los motivos de su disconformidad y se indicaran las pruebas en que fundamenta la misma.
JUZGADO DE FAMILIA DE NICOYA.- 16 Setiembre del ano 2009.- Lic.- Berta Lidieth Araya Porras.- Jueza. FROJASP.
So if anyone objects, they had 5 days to state it and why, in writing to the court, otherwise one of the last steps has been finalized this month! Fingers crossed for a very, very Merry Christmas present to our family of the adoption being finalized by Dec. 1 (my new magic date: my wish list to Santa Claus).
