    Bette’s Two Home Visits

    Bette winked and smiled at the red-faced woman

    “OK Bette. You’ve made your point.”

    “I’m not trying to make a point Roberta. I’m just expounding on the care both Tina and I take in making important decisions about the safety and well-being of our daughter. She will be exposed to people regardless of gender or sexual preference that will enrich her life and experiences. We’ll teach her self-esteem, and self-confidence, and a strong sense of self that doesn’t tolerate biases. I can’t influence whatever preconceived notions you have about me or our lifestyle, but I would think being in a position of influence you’d be supportive of well-qualified adoptive parents rather than looking for petty reasons to reject them.

    I love that little girl more than life itself. Her and Tina are my world. I’m committed to taking care of them and keeping them safe for as long as I live. I’m not going to raise my daughter in a rubber room and try to protect her from every mishap, but I would never do anything to endanger her or stunt her growth and development.

    I want her to experience the world and imagine anything is possible. I want feed her curiosity and teach her to appreciate beauty. If you need me to check the boxes for you to approve my petition, I’ll do it. But I will not compromise on my convictions for the sake of bureaucracy.

    Tina and I conceived of our family together. We lost our son through miscarriage and it destroyed us. I destroyed us. I finally have my family back. My father, my nephew, my sister, James, Peggy have all embraced my wife and daughter with unconditional love. Winnie, Jung Yin, Wilson, Alice, Shane, Dana. They are our extended family. I would need to answer to every one of them if I every failed my wife or child again.

    So, dissect my life, inspect our homes, talk to whomever you need to talk to and write up your report. By law my fate is in your hands but not by God.”

    “Actually, there is no law that says she has the final word. You are well within your rights to be evaluated by someone who is open-minded and not influenced by their personal biases. If Ms. Collier isn’t that person then I suggest you request a new case worker. In the meantime, Peggy is asking for you. She’s waiting to be introduced to her granddaughter.”

    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!!!

    3. 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

    4. 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.

    5. 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? : )
