Obee (Tyke), Chi -begins with a K sound and rhymes with pie (Tot), and Zee (Baby), These are nicknames we use for the boys that will be a part of their new names eventually. I think its probably okay to start using them here because there is nothing truly identifying in all of that.
I got the all clear today to begin calling the boys by the names they will be given when adopted. I was given a list of adoption attorneys to contact to begin the paperwork. Yet another person (our new caseworker), acted like this was really going to happen.
Our new caseworker talked more about the adoption process than anything case wise. She wants to make sure we are ready to go in that direction. She is our local DC$ go to person when it comes to getting parents to sign over rights when termination is inevitable. She does seem to have a very cut and dried personality. There was not a lot of gush with her, but she was completely fine by me. She told me she has done so many adoptions she can give us pretty much the same information we would get from the adoption caseworker.
She has a few eventualities she is planning for. She is going to try and get a signed agreement. They are also preparing for trial, and prepping to be ready to go forward with adoption quickly if there is no appeal. They are also prepared to go for the next 9 - 12 months until the appeals are exhausted and then we adopt. No one, is talking about the possibility of us losing them. So... That's Nice. :)
You must be getting so excited!
