So I finally made the call. We are going to a lawyer on Monday to see what are options for me adopting SS. I am really nervous to be opening this can of worms. I have no idea what the outcome will be or how things will play out.

The alternative is do nothing at all and just hope that nothing ever happens to my DH.

Just nervous and scared about it all. Anyone have any tips for this process? Like I said we are meeting to better understand what our options are moving forward.

So with all the wedding stuff going on this weekend I had some family up for while. The one day two of my teenage boy cousins were over and I was not sure if they would be there. Around noon I decided to go get SS out of school early and bring him home to hang out with them. They wanted to meet him and he wanted to meet them.

I was smart called the school ahead of time to see if I was on the list. Well no policy changed this year they do not carry over. Ok fine I called DH get him on the phone and tell him he calls the school and all is good. I go get him.

This has nothing to do with yesterday. It is a wonderful day and I am in a really good mood. Many of you will not support this and many of you may have negative comments about it. I ask to please keep those to yourself and just be supportive.

Brought SS home from practice last night. We were talking about me and SO getting married and all that stuff. SS had some very interesting things to say. Her is the convo for the most part.

So I have a question?

My SS9 told me the other day he likes using my step-dads real name instead of calling him grandpa. He calls my mom grandmom and does not use her real name.

I call my stepdad by his name because I am just so use to it since I have been doing it since I was 16. I consider him like my dad. SS also calls me by my first name and refers to me as like mom to his friends and sometimes calls me mom when we are around other people.
