Holli Rowan hasn't added a story.
Jake is the absolute love of my life. I initially picked him up from the hospital at 3 days old and it was all over from there. Joy doesn't even begin to explain the emotion I felt for those 14 months while I was his foster mom... then our system gave custody back and there wasn't a day when I didn't worry about his well-being.
Then one day, like magic, he appeared back in my arms. Here we are a year and a half later and I'm still shocked I get to wake up to his hugs and kisses daily. I've been Jake's legal guardian since February of 2015. Due to circumstances over the last year, it's time to start the process of relinquishing parental rights and beginning the adoption process. In his eyes, I'm already Mommy. We will both be a wreck if his "parents" decide to temporarily clean up just long enough to get him back again.
My attorney is amazing, but he's an attorney and he costs money. We're looking at right around $5,000.00 to relinquish rights & adopt and that's if they don't decide to fight me. Right now, we're on a time crunch as we want to serve the father while he's in jail ((yes, he's in jail)).
Anything is appreciated more than I can express. I promised him as a baby I'd love him until I took my last breath and I'd fight with everything I have... and it's time to keep my word!
