Thanks so much for all your replies. I'm so relieved where we are that our confidentiality is pretty well respected. The CW said she didn't want me to feel pressured by any of this at all. She was very understanding and actually said "I don't want you to feel pressured about any of this. It is not in any way your obligation to meet the mother's wants or needs. This is about *A* and her needs. Maybe the doctor will be willing to discuss her observations and diagnosis with the mother via a telephone call or letter. The mother does not need to be there to get the results." So that's really a relief. I just am not ready to meet her at this point and I don't know if I ever will be unless it accidentally happens or something, but I think I would be outraged if we were *forced* to meet like this. We have rights, the bios have rights and as the SW said in respect for *our* privacy, the mother does not need to be *with us* to obtain the results.
