Far better to have a knee jerk reaction here then with the caseworkers!

This is a good place to work out some of the over reactive feelings that we do get during this whole long ordeal!

I was defensive TOO! Trust me--and I didn't like or respect a lot of the stuff we went through.

Remember that there are a lot of people the caseworkers see with who do come to this point with 'bleeding hearts' Not all adoptive parents are as open minded and willing to deal with things like those of us spending time on these forums.....

Try to view the meeting as a positive thing for your situation....if they did not have a reason to think you might be able to pull your request off--they would tell you or they wouldn't even bother to give you a meeting in the first place....

Please keep knee-jerking here--it is safe--you cannot hurt me--and it will not harm your case!
