February 17th



First, I would like to give a shout out to hotspice58 thanks for the encouragement.



Yesterday morning I called lawyer B to setup an appointment for next week, he answered his own phone, we spoke for what seemed like an hour and he laid out all the options and information we needed to know, he suggested topics of conversation for our meeting this weekend and gave me the name of a lawyer in there area for them to deal with who is a specialist. I can not tell you how very comfortable and confident he made me feel. We did talk about fess and total fees which were right in the reasonable range and he recommended several social workers for our home study and clarified the whole situation for us. I then laid this information out for the family in a phone call and an e-mail, and then I was attacked by a bird, a very large bird. Nesting in the overhang of the building it made its way into the open ceiling tile at work and into the room where I was on the phone with my contact in the family, Ok while I may not have screamed like a little girl, I did in fact panic. I feel that I could have taken the bird in a fair fight bit it snuck up on me. The bird made its way down the hallway and out an opened window none the worst for ware. But back to the story, I think we have laid out a strategy that would minimize there efforts, get it done before the other baby arrives and not cost them a dime yet in the end we are left with the same questions in the end, as many of you are, with the birth mother place the child with us? And does the family want to place the child with us?



We need to discuss post placement and contact, I understand that it would seem that almost anything can be written into a contract does anyone who has read this have any suggestions?



It was a big bird, and it was not happy.



Thanks for reading I will due weekday updates and keep updating.



I did not scream like a girl.
