If we do proceed it means the next step is a placement staffing with a room full of social workers (hers, ours, and regional placement workers etc). Then if THAT goes well we begin visitation....usually for about a month..........THEN if that goes well, John Denver is singing some sweet lamnet on the radio about being BACK HOME and we're ALL snug and happy in our little home!!!!

Some synonyms for "Great": awesome, stupendous, fabulous, momentous, titanic, super, incredible, cool (aka kewl), fantabulous (not a word, but one of my students uses it), Megalithic, Epochal, and I can go on.

Sorry, just my anal-retentive professorial nature.
