If she is willing to sign the consent and you can find a place that you can get comfortable in, then it might make the reamainder of your journey easier. Could you agree to sending pictures and letters once or twice a year to a PO Box and she can send to a PO Box. That way you can be in charge of when you want to receive them etc... Also, you could put in the agreement that she has to meet certain stips in order to obtain the visits.... such as a drug screen, 72 hour confirmation, etc... and if she does not thatn the agreement is null and void. Also you can usually put language in teh agreement that stipulates that if it is not in the "best interests" of the child, that you will not visit. I know it sounds scary, I'm scared too of it, but the dragged out years of not having finalization sound pretty darn scary too!

Best of luck
