There is no backing out now!



Happy 4 year old at her birthday breakfast

 I had a dream last night that I was in labor -- for weeks and weeks -- with no sign of any progress.  Hmmm... was that a reflection of how this adoption is going?

I met with B's case worker today.  (I'll confess that I forgot her name -- it's only our third worker in less than six months!)  Apparently, even though I see no signs of progress, my case worker and Brooklynn's case worker have both been checking off their lists.  Yay! I'm now designated as B's adoptive placement, which means birthmom can't change her mind about the relinquishment, and no other distant relatives can show up to claim the child.
