Ok -- I had to take a break from the MB for a while -- WORK is just insane at the end of the semester. Also since I take classes as well, horribly busy.
Several things to update -- I'll try to make it simple. First, I saw a second L who was not as optimistic as the first regarding my rights to S....Remember, the first L couldn't take my case because she knows W in a business environment and referred me to another. This L says she doesn't think I have any chance to even get in court and she says that in her opinion, i am no different than a neighbor helping out with the child in the eyes of the law. WHAT!!!!!!!!!???????? 25, what do you think? these two L's had COMPLETELY diametrically opposed opinions. Now I'm seeing a 3rd next week. I felt so good after the first, now pretty scared again. She said in my state, legally I have no claim.... regardless if I've been there as a coparent his ENTIRE life, went through the ENTIRE adoption process as a couple, etc. etc.. I asked WTF about the best interest of the child?? THIS L said that isn't important unless I have a legal standing.
Ok, so now I'm confused and as I said, a big frightened.... Gonna keep on getting consultations and see what comes out. 25, the case that is pertinent is Mullins v. Picklesimer in 2010. You know my sitch -- my W did NOT biologically bear our S, so it seems that I have even more claim....But I'm no L. How in the he@@ can 2 L's see the same case SOOOOO differently????
Anyway..... this last L told me I'm screwed and have to depend on the mercy of my W to let me see S --- whenever SHE wants, and if she wants to cut me off....she can.
Really????? This consultation was just yesterday, but I'm lining up some more as I said. If you guys see me at the Supreme Court, I'll wave at the DB group
