Went to Az, was gonna need to be there by myself for 2 weeks or so...started getting panic attacks, backed off and went home without TPR from bmom, got it together after a week or so, and bmom agreed to TPR then "babysit" dd for us until ICPC....appx 2 weeks. We had no other children.
That act of babysitting dd AFTER she signed TPR, means more to me than ANYTHING...It allowed me a slight grip on my emotions that I desperately needed....an ADD first time mom has NO business in a tiny town, in a hotel with a behaviorally challanged older child, alone for 2 weeks!!!!
My attny thought we were nuts, but bmom got to have her for Thksgiving, and we got some extra alone adjustment time. It means as much to me as the act of placing her with us.
