    Author Notes:

    Bette gives Tina a WTF look as Roberta’s mind has certainly drifted away from what is in Angelica’s best interest. “Well should our daughter decide to be with men when she’s old enough for adult relationships I suppose she will have those intimacies.

    Bette gives Tina a WTF look as Roberta’s mind has certainly drifted away from what is in Angelica’s best interest.

    “Well should our daughter decide to be with men when she’s old enough for adult relationships I suppose she will have those intimacies. In the meantime, what you’re suggesting sounds rather inappropriate and sexist.”

    Realizing that she’d overstepped, Roberta abruptly ended the home study. “I’ll be back in 10 days.”

    “You’re coming back?” Tina asked. Thinking there is no way Bette was going to tolerate another invasive visit.

    “We do two home visits per case, so you’ll get a second chance though first impressions are hard to overcome.”

    Bette and Tina agreed, as their first impression of Roberta Collier was that of a homophobic bigoted dried up spinster who more than likely didn’t even like children.

    ***

    In all honesty Roberta could not find any fault with the West Hollywood house and surrounding area. Her issue was with Bette.

    Bette Porter had beauty, style, and sophistication. She was highly educated and successful. In Roberta’s mind women like that put off having children in favor of careers and by the time they were in their late thirties or early forties they would seek to adopt to fill that void. In many cases getting a child was more about a status symbol than any real maternal instincts.

    Of course, Bette’s situation was different in that she didn’t petition for a single parent adoption. She was in a committed relationship with the baby’s mother and already recognized as the intended parent. For Bette the formal adoption was her rite of passage to motherhood.

    After the disastrous first meeting, Bette agonized over the fact that Roberta’s biased opinions could derail her dream. Did Roberta have a problem with lesbian moms or women in general? It was hard to determine but more than likely it was Bette’s nonconforming attitude that ticked her off. Considering she had the power to judge Bette’s suitability as an adoptive parent, the social worker expected the applicant to be more agreeable.

    Had she known Roberta’s true motivation in wanting to make sure not only that Bette was suitable but also that she wasn’t putting undue influence on Tina to agree to the adoption she would have been horrified.

    1. Hi! Thank you for the chapter!

      But i must say that even if i don’t like character Roberta both in the TLW and in your story ironically that the only real obstacle for Bette in TLW on her way for adopting Angelica was only Bette herself when she as trying to go to court and than to kidnap Angelica.

    2. Hey Bat, it took awhile to write this chapter, but wow it was worth the waiting!!!!

      I never liked or cared for Roberta and i think you did a excellent job to show her true colors.

      And how Bette told her of about what she finds important to show and learn Angie, well done. The same for Tina, so happy to read how she supported Bette and came up for her!!!!

      Looks like Helena is loosing it, she gets what she deserves, finally!!!

      Looking forward to the next chapter!!!

    4. Another great chapter, I am so glad that Tina told Roberta what was what. People with those types of biases should not be in the social work business. And I think she is lucky it was Melvin and not Peggy that heard the conversation she was having with Bette. Can’t wait for the next chapter. PPS

    5. Hello Bat, thanks for another wonderful chapter. Oh my, that Roberta character was a super bitch on the show and you let her show that continuation, didn’t like her then and even less this time. So happy you let Bette and Tina give her what for as well as Melvin chiming in with his summation of her and that nasty attitude. She doesn’t know this but, if Peggy P had added her two cents worth she might be looking for another job, and it hasn’t been determined that Peggy won’t intervene, she has a long reach and knows all kinds of people. I really liked that Tina gave her a piece of her mind as well without tearing her apart. She is really in the wrong profession with her biases and attitude, God bless those that don’t have as much help as our girls and that have to put up with that woman. There are people like her all over the Social Services environment. Again, thanks for a great chapter. Thanks for posting. Have a great week.

    6. Hi BAT2012, hope all is well with you. I’m kind of missing your fic and would love to read a new chapter. No rush, but, it has been over a month since we have heard from you. Do you think we could get a quick chapter or two sometime soon? : )
