Could Be a While

We received an e-mail from attorney, Agnese, that the next step will be for the case to go to District Court to terminate Gertrude's dad's rights. After that, she said "if the judgment will be effected on" then the Ministry will be involved again and work toward getting Gertrude cleared. I am not sure why she said "if" the judgement....I don't know why there would be any question. This is difficult when you don't even know what's supposed to happen, let alone how long it will take! I told Agnese we will try to be patient and not contact her too often. She did say it will not happen very quickly but she doesn't know how long. We are hopeful it will all be done and we can pursue and complete the adoption before our dossier expires. If not, that will be more work and expense for us to have that redone. Also, the sooner we can have Gertrude home, the better for all of us.
