I think you need a new lawyer. My atty underwent surgery for breast cancer twice in the past year that we have been working with her... the last time right in the middle of our adoption. If I needed ANYTHING, she was available to me. You not only need an atty who is there to answer your questions, but you REALLY need one who will not call and yell at your pbmom.... that is an unneeded headache. If you were under the stress and heartache of making an adoption plan, would you want someone calling and yelling at you? I wouldn't.

I am not an expert, but I think you may still need ICPC, since as far as I know, ICPC is all about taking a child over state lines, which you will be doing.

I would reconsider finalizing in GA. Finding a good atty in your area who can then recommend an atty in GA that they have worked with before and liked is what I would suggest doing. That is what we did and it worked out well.

It cost us less to hire an atty in IN for dd's bmom than it would have cost us in airline tickets and hotel stay for a return trip.

I hope things start to go better!!!
