Big week - Adoption.com Forums

We have a big week ahead of us! Curly and her mom have their "goodbye" visit with the therapist on Wednesday. It isn't really goodbye since we are planning on a very open adoption but they are using this visit for mom to tell Curly, in her own words, her reasons for her decisions and to give her some more of her background story. They plan on using our life book and mom's photo albums to help her tell the story as the therapist's supervisor writes down what mom says. She is then going to print it out to go in Curly's life book. Any specific questions you feel should be put out there for Curly to "ask" mom? We are supposed to write some down on pieces of paper and Curly is going to color them and give them to mom during the session.

Then Friday is our mediation with dad. We have our fingers and toes crossed that he shows up. If he surrenders we are looking at a September/ October adoption date. If he doesn't we are looking at a November/December proof hearing to terminate his rights and then 3-4 months for the judges decision and THEN adoption somewhere in 2013. Dad hasn't seen Curly since January when he had his bonding eval that went horrible for him. Before that he hadn't seen her in 3-4 months and before that he was in prison for an extended period with no contact. He was free to come to visits whenever he wanted, he just never did. Please let him care enough to show up, sign the papers and for once do the right thing for Curly!!
