I have to go to court tomorrow. We were not supposed to but atty wants us there. They are now bring up an issue of visits. The baby don't know her. She has not seen her since she was an infant. How do I handle this part. I don't want her mind warped by this. She has separation anxiety and cries if I go to the bathroom and she don't see me. Or if I go to the store and her daddy is home with her. I am a stay at home mom.
Boomerang did you need to tell me something? Or want to talk to me?
I've been crying all day. The baby says mommy don't cry. I love you.
Everything will be all right boomer. Good things come to good people,
and you're definitely one of them. Only a few more weeks and you're
ready to celebrate. And we all are going to be here to share the joyous
moment with you.
Boomer, this is so very exciting for all of you. Good things do happen to good people, and you, ma'am , are most definately good people.
I hope that BlessedAngel doesn't mind that I share that she had a really good day in court today!
In other adoption news... my neice whose ex (I'd rather die than give up custody (even though I haven't seen my daughter in four years and have never paid a penny in child support)) husband decided he'd rather give up custody than go to court.
Kisses to Monkey on her new daddy!
I talked with Mo's dad's mom today and it was good. I'm glad she heard it all from me. She's happy for Mo but she cried a little bit after speaking to him on the phone. I think it was some of that "could have been" sadness that I experienced.
Tomorrow is the big signing day with Mo's bio-mom.
A lot will still happen after that:
We have to find "dad" and either get him to sign or serve him with notice or publish notices if we can't find him.
We have to do the home study.
We have to write a few checks.
But really, by noon tomorrow the major drama of my life should be over.
Niiiiiiiiiiice.
<don't really know what's going on - hard to follow - but> Yippee!!!
What is going on is that Mr. B and I filed a petition to adopt Mo this week.
After three and a half years of preparation it should all be wrapped up within the next month.
Oh, I get that part! Just not the plethora of details you speak of. I catch the gist....... and am excited for you!
I see....
I've been communicating with a few people outside of A2K and since this is my adoption diary I'm just rambling to build my confidence.
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice indeed. Lemme go replenish Ganesh's cup...
Hugs to all, including Blessed Angel.
Does Mo know all this is in the air? I hesitate myself re having him in on all of it, lest he have difficult reactions at this point.
I dont mind at all boomerang. I'm a very happy mommy right now.
Thanks for all the well wishes.
I'm a happy mommy today too!
Unfortunately my brain is kind of on the fritz. I think it is just mental exhaustion. If I was a movie star they'd check me into the hospital.
The papers are signed!
She signed papers and we gorged on great food at a nice place.
I haven't spent time with Mo's mom, just me and her, in a long, long time, just doing something fun and checking up on each other.
I know that she will always be my friend.
Wow, that's great Boomer. Please tell us more when the whirlwind settles down.

Holy guacamole!
That's fantastic news!!!!!!!
Congrats boomerang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
flopping on floor in thankyou dance...
Thank you all so much.
After today, it's as good as done but it isn't completely done.
Bio-mom's consent is conditional upon termination of bio-dads rights.
We shouldn't have any problem terminating his rights but we have to find him first. Nobody knows where he is so we will have to hire a private dectetice. If they can't find him we will have to advertise the pending adoption.
We still have the home study ahead and a few hundred pounds of paperwork and physicals by our doctors and and and.
But with mom's consent the rest of it is pretty much a given.
I should be a parent, an honest to god parent, within the next 45 days or so.
How weird is that!?
Not so much weird as it is WONDERFUL!!

It's just form following function.
