or at least he looks like he did. . .
We met him Monday night, this Mr. A. He must have been seven feet tall and kept checking to make sure he wouldn't hit his head as he went through our totally normal height doorways.
I was worried that CD would not take too well to him. He is a man and CD seems to warm up to women faster and even on the phone I knew to expect a big man since he had such a deep voice. Turns out, CD really liked him. She didn't quite give him a "high five" but she liked him enough to be a chatter box during the entire visit and once he left, to ask me if he'd be back soon! Mr. A was embarrassed to ask to see our fridge so he asked about our "food situation." I told him that I knew he was supposed to look in our fridge and at CD's room, so we showed him around. Mr. A proclaimed CD to be precious and way too smart to be two years old. That's all it took to win me over.
I wish that Mr. A wasn't so new and so completely clueless about our case. He seems like a good guy though. I am hopeful that he will work well with us and take us through the permanency hearing. I believe that if the court rules to begin termination of parental rights we will move to an adoption case manager anyway.

Don't you feel like assigning new caseworkers when the case moves to adoption is the most idiotic thing? Our kids were attached to their caseworker and have had parents and caregivers and therapists be totally inconsistent... so why create more inconsistency by having a brand new CW who doesn't know the case suddenly take it on? In our case I feel sometimes like they have never even read the case file. I hope your adoption worker is awesome - I know there are some good ones out there.
