Adoption home study.

WOW. Congrats Boom!!
This is fantastic.

I'm dancing a happy dance for you right this minute! I'm sure it took a lot of courage for both you and Mo's bio mom. Some grand kudo's should go to her too for realizing what is truly best for Mo.

I am as excited as can be for you all, just waiting out the formalities now. How sweet love is.....

I agree with Lady_J! Mo's bio-mom really stepped up! I'm so glad you two are still friends.

The wheels are in motion. 45 days from now, hmm, it'll be just about July 4th. Independence Day, indeed.

Independence day! That would be fabulous.

After giving myself permission to do nothing yesterday I woke up to a cold rainy morning today. Since we couldn't work or play outside I decided to not mail in the papers and take Mo on a downtown excursion instead.

We road the train to the attorney's office and handed over the papers in person to a dazed and amazed lawyer who declared I could pretty much sit back and relax about everything now.

Then Mo and I had lunch in a restaurant and then we played skee-ball at the arcade and then we watched the ice skaters and then we rode the train home.

What a fun day!

Boomer- I happened late into this thread, and boy, I am so excited for you. What a wonderful thing to happen to the three of you.

Thank you, Phoenix! I'm excited too. Even late your support is so welcome!

Tomorrow I call the adoption agency and get things really rolling with them. Mr. B is starting the search for long lost "dad" tomorrow too. I have my physical on Thursday. All of our forms/paperwork/references are nearly complete.

I can't believe how fast things are moving.

I'm dazed.

Golly!

Mo's bio-dad is due here, at my house, TOMORROW.

Mr. B talked to him on Tuesday but didn't spring it on me until today because he "didn't want me to freak".

Mr. B didn't want to "alert Mo" to the event because he thinks Mo will just kind of blow it off.

I frikkenfrikkenfrikkenfrikkenfrikkenfrikkenfrikkenfrikkenfrikkenfrikkenfrikkenfrikkenfrikkenfrikkenfrikkenfrikkenfrikkenfrikkenfrikken hope so.

None of us have seen him in two years.

He is supposed to sign the papers.

So he says.

I am a bundle of nerves.

Please don't tell me you're going to spring the meeting on Mo? Will he be there? Will he be seeing his dad?

Has the news about the scientists complaining that the Bushies have been altering their words to make out the problem is less than it is been aired there?

It was reported here last night, with pictures of latered documents.



I will find it and post it if it has not already been posted.

I could kill Mr. B right now.

I might take Mo and spend the day away.

Mr. B is like all "relax". It will only be a big deal if you make it a big deal.

To be honest, he knows more about this crap than I do.

But Mo has a SERIOUS good memory and it is making me feel kind of barfy.

He is not supposed to be here until the afternoon and he says he wants to see Mo while he's here but.....

but.....
but......

I know I need to let him know.

And I think I can arrange a diversion.

dlowan. I know not to provoke the bunny but you are FREAKING me out.

Oy!

There is potential reallyreally good news in there though... (papers! signed!)

But yeah, the complications suck mightily.

(I'm assuming dlowan's post was meant to go to another thread... )

I assumed the same thing but she is still freaking me out.

Yes, there is reallyreally good news embedded in the announcement but that doesn't mean I don't need an Alka-Seltzer.

Please give Mo plenty of time to come to grips with seeing his bio dad if you do let them meet. I've just spent 2 weekends in early childhood psych and my mind is screaming - PREPARE THE CHILD!!!!!!

Bugger, I am so sorry about the wrong post!


Stay as cool as you can, Boomer.

Oh, and I agree, prepare Mo.


What does he know of bio dad?

Ai, chihuahua. I don't know what to say.

I guess I don't get why he automatically gets to visit suddenly. I might make a lawyer call. But then I am probably wrong about that. And all this before a home visit? Eurggggggg. F'kin eek.

<taking>

Any chance you and hub can discuss all this with biodad without his meeting Mo, and arrange a later Mo meet after you talk with attorney etc?
