So some of you know the whole sorted story of Jordan and his ex wife... some of you do not. I don't really want to go into much detail so I'll give you a small condensed version, and yes this IS the condensed version...
Ex had an affair (moved a guy in) while Jordan was serving his country in Iraq and became pregnant, all unknown to him (they were still happily married or so HE thought) and assumed when he came home all would be the same...
Well of course it wasn't.
She gave her last baby up... well more like gave it to a couple she knew... no legal adoption or guardianship or anything, in hopes Jordan would change his mind and trust her again (which obviously didn't happen). And no baby's daddy has no idea she even exists, go figure.
Jordan immediately got a house when he returned home and got the girls from Ex. There they had beds and rooms and everything a little girl needs. She on the other hand was at this point sleeping on her mother's couch and the girls were sleeping on the floor... all because she didn't make a house payment for an entire year and the house went back to the bank... oh... yes she is that special...
Jordan filed for divorce and full custody of the girls and things were fine...
Until, after a year and a half, (and only after child support was garnished from her paycheck) she decided she wants custody of the girls! But the kicker is that she only wants "joint custody with primary care"... and why you might ask? Well because she can apply for Section 8 and food stamps and all of the other wonderful things our government set up with the intention of helping people in need... not really for allowing them to just live off of it for the rest of their lives.
So here we are the day before court and still running around gathering more stuff! Wow you would think since this whole fiasco has been on going since February we would have all of our stuff together but it seems like more and more stuff is coming out even now at this late of a date.
Bless his heart Jordan is so nervous! :( I hate to see him so anxious, but then so am I. I truly think that the judge will see everything for what is honestly is. I just can't bare to think of losing our girls! :(
We are all such a perfect fit... and it breaks my heart to think of them having to live in the same situations they were put in three years ago. No child should ever have to live like that. Ever.
So please pray for us! I think we are going to have the out come we've been praying for. We have so many in our community on our side, our pastor, teachers, old neighbors (from their old neighborhood), doctors and police officers (who had to go to the old house and pull out a convicted felon) friends and family and even the girls themselves.
I know we have done everything in our power to make sure that we have everything to prove that the girls are right where they belong. But I still can't help but to worry...
**Of course I did receive a message today that my aunt passed The Bar Exam!!!! So I guess if this becomes an even bigger issue we may just hire TWO lawyers!!! :) Way to go Cindy!!! (:
Post an update soon on this, you'll so be in my prayers. I know the anxious feeling you are experiencing. I have for most of my marriage and I can relate. Hope all is good and know that our prayers are with you all!
