That is great news. Hopefully you can now relax a little and enjoy the holidays with your family.

I actually wish we could have had formal mediation. I would have liked the oportunity to introduce myself to my son's bmom before starting post adoption visits.

I hope you don't stress too much about the mediation - and know that doing the mediation after a voluntary surrender puts you primarily in the drivers seat. If she doesn't like the terms you propose in the mediation, she really has no recourse.

Good luck.
