We're going to Nashville

We have booked our trip to Nashville for next month. We'll fly out on June 14th early in the morning, and then go with M to her appointment at 2 PM. We will stay overnight, and then I'll fly home Thursday evening and David is off to Vegas for our friend's 30th birthday weekend. We will be getting the ultrasound video and I'm so excited! I am very excited and also anxious to meet M and her family, but I'm glad we're going.

M also called the agency and the attorney in Tennessee and set up appointments with both for Thursday. The lawyer says she will get the birth father information and attempt to contact him and get him to sign his relinquishment, which he is allowed to do before the birth. We would also hire a private detective if need be, but he knows of the baby's existence and has stated that M can do whatever she likes, so we think he'll sign. Worst case is that TN has a putative father registry. The birth is published in the paper, and if no potential father comes forward within 30 days, the birth father rights are terminated.

So, things seem to be moving along.
