Over the next two weeks the family settles into their routines. Bette is getting anxious about the adoption. She meets with both Ingrid and Hilda about the event and her feelings.
Ingrid: Bette while I can never promise an outcome, based on everything we have on your petition I fully expect the adoption will be granted. You are an upstanding citizen. You’ve taken on a nurturing role for Angelica and you’ve provided for her financially. You’ve selected and provided day care and preschool for her and you and Tina have created a safe and loving home environment for the baby. It is also in the state’s interest for Angelica to have two parents and you are a great candidate. Please relax and endure this last week.
Bette: That’s what everyone keeps telling me, but this has been such a long hard journey. Honestly I’m scared.
Ingrid: Well, I’m not a shrink and can’t help with those feelings per se, but knowing what I know from experience, I’d be pretty darn happy when I woke up on June 22nd.
Bette: Thanks for sharing your perspective. I’m a person who really likes to deal with the facts and realities. The ambiguity here is unsettling.
Ingrid: Well your case is pretty straight forward. Just have faith and hang in there with me for another week.
Bette: If Tina and I have another child and Tina is the birth mother would we go through this process again? Are there any short cuts or steps skipped?
Ingrid: If your circumstances are essentially the same: employed, still providing a good home, no new legal or criminal issues, the process would be the same, but could happen more quickly.
Bette: How soon after birth could we start the process?
Ingrid: You could do it fairly soon and have the process finalized before the baby is a year old. Would you use Mr. Allenwood as a donor?
Bette: That was our plan before and if he’s still willing I think we would do that again. We like the idea of the children being biologically connected. Tina and I haven’t planned for another baby just yet. I really need to finish this process first, but I know what she wants and she will want to talk this out pretty soon after the adoption is final.

Poor Bette! That must be a scary feeling, not knowing if you’ll be able to become your child’s parent. You did a great job showing her fears, lwsho!
Great update. Love that they are talking to each other and sharing their feelings. Poor Bette. How scary it is. Thank you :)
Bette just let’s her imagination run away with her and she makes problems where there are none. Poor thing. At least she has someone to talk with and she did at least tell Tina, although she was the last Bette talked with and Tina should have been the first she talked to. Thanks for posting.
Bette reaction to Tuesday,is normal, don’t matter what everybody’s sayng till is done she won’t relax. But talk about it and share her fears are good for her as she is getting the emotionasupport especially from Tina. Thanks for posting.PPVS
