Although there are always exceptions, we're usually the ones to transport to visits. Because of safety issues, Queenie and I were met at the secure entrance for the handoff. With Mermaid, Honey, Little Man and Banana, we brought the kids in, had a few moments to talk to the HUGE bio family that showed up (think 15 or so!) and then left. With Bubba and Sissy, when we had visits, they were in a fast food restaurant, so we took the kids and met the cw and mom, grandpa and great grandma. It was fine. They have big issues, but they are likeable. I know. That kind of surprises me, too!
There are 2 awkward parts. The first is when the biomom asks us if she can _________. We just smile and tell her to make the decision. The second is the goodbye. At the first visit, Bubba thought he was going home. He waved goodbye to me and tried to shoo me out the door. I felt so bad for him! But, over time they learned that they go to see mama and come home with mommy.
