Hi All.
I did want to Thank everyone who posted and gave me good advice. Just to update you. It turned out that I did contact the state worker (social worker?) that gave the Orientation class before the MAPP classes, and threw the story out at her.

She did say: The story may have more than a few flaws to it, that you are probably unaware of. You are hearing only one side of the story. You have already done all that you can do, giving the bioMom the option of adoption. She told me the mother now has that option, and if she wants to act on it, it is now up to her to do this leg work.

If I get anymore involved at this point it may turn into a private adoption if an attorney has to do all kinds of research into the case...OR...it may just turn into a big mess. She basically told me to let it go. The mother knows where to find me now if she wants to, being that her friends mother is my mother's friend.

I spoke to my mom again, and she previously forgot to mention to me, that although the bioMom is here in Florida, the baby is in another state. So I was able to add that information to what I shared with the social worker. The SW then said "Well now , we are adding interstate to the whole thing, that is another story" the bioMom came to Florida to find the b ioDad, whose last name she does not know. The family watching the child possibly can get her on abandonment. The sw basically, kindly told me to "let it go" that I was thinking as a mother and not seeing the big picture!

On that note I will tell you, I s tart my MAPP classes January 5th :-) I am so excited and so nervous...wish me luck!!!!! Thanks again.

Have a Happy Healthy New Year!
Love & Light, Teeg
