Juliehf,
I believe that Gabsdot was replying to the origional poster, SDS. Gabsdod was refering to SDS posting "Hi, I know virtually nothing about adoption." not to your post. Gabsdot also said "the advice you've been given is great." I think that was more in reference to what you and other posters have written. I just noticed that this was probably just a misunderstanding, I hope that I didn't overstep my bounds

.
Good luck to all!
