oh, I have lots of experience with this! Yes, your birthmom is considered a minor if she's under age 18. It means they'll look at her birth certificate and any parents listed on their will also have to give THEIR consent which can get sticky if one or the other is no longer around. Also, yes, PGN will require her to come in for an interview with them also. She'll be interviewed by the psychologist I believe. When does your birthmother turn 18? If soon, perhaps you will be able to sidestep all this?
Good luck! All I can say is BE PROACTIVE and stay right on top of things! Squeaky wheel gets the grease!
