Well, minor setback. Doctor did not provide the correct wording in her letter, so the judge did not grant my motion. I felt like I wanted to cry, right then and there. Totally awesome judge, he told me that everything else was in order and he would grant it as soon as he had the corrected letter. He even took a little time to hi-lite a sample copy so that the doctor would have a guide.
Figured my doctor would have gotten this right, but it is just a week. I am on for the 27th and that is just to hand the new letter (that is a copy of my friend's letter with my info in place) and the judge already said he would grant. So close! My friend, Melissa, rightly asked the only question, "40 years you have waited so far...what's another week?"
It was an amazing experience to see the process. There were 16 people changing their names at my session. Only a couple, trans...but it was no different for any and it is a quick process!
