At least we have the option.<BR/><BR/>And basically, since the adoption statute for 2nd parent adoption is the same one used for any adoption, yes, there's a home study involved.Nonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09709961376174590317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21200500.post-72718699773226432432007-10-18T00:52:00.000-04:002007-10-18T00:52:00.000-04:00*boggle* HOME STUDY???

We skipped the hospital tour too, so when I arrived in labor and asked for directions to L&D, the woman asked me who I was visiting! That didn't impact the speed with which we arrived any, but I just thought it was funny.Mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13540289001959333815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21200500.post-40576755695617958472007-10-16T11:59:00.000-04:002007-10-16T11:59:00.000-04:00Offspring having a different last name than your o...Offspring having a different last name than your own is not a problem, legally. Not saying hospital records don't get mixed up, but a change with Social Security probably won't prevent that, unfortunately.<BR/><BR/>That's cool that Aussie swaddle cloths are available through a US distributer now. We actually ordered some from Australia, and split the order 2 for us and 3 for a friend's baby as a shower gift. Including shipping, they ended up being probably around the same price as the ones Bri recommends. We got organic cotton. But now that the exchange rate sucks, the ones we got would probably be much more expensive. :P<BR/><BR/>Go you on getting so much checked off your list!fostermamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09892654110641448023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21200500.post-44105398760220300042007-10-16T09:09:00.000-04:002007-10-16T09:09:00.000-04:00I think you've got a pretty impressive DONE list -...I think you've got a pretty impressive DONE list - go Lo & Co!

We were concerned that we would need to have our names changed first so that they wouldn't give us any grief about her last name (J's and my future last name), but there were no problems. I just made a call to the hospital birth records office to double check so we wouldn't be stressed about getting all the paperwork in on time to confirm it before we went.*G*https://www.blogger.com/profile/13920863650122064563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21200500.post-14151347579923702032007-10-15T23:45:00.000-04:002007-10-15T23:45:00.000-04:00The crossout code is .I highly recommend this bran...The crossout code is < strike >.<BR/><BR/>I highly recommend this brand of muslin blanket called Aden and Anais for swaddling - http://www.adenandanais.com/ - they are lovely and soft and safe - the fabric is so thin the kid can breathe through it. I am finding that he gets REALLY hot sleeping even when the room is cool so swaddling in these is excellent even now with the nicer weather and certainly later with NYC building heat! BUT they are pricey - register for them, maybe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
