Well it's finally coming together...we received a call from our social
worker last night...WE HAVE A REFERRAL! ;-))  Now for all of you experts
out there...we need some advice.   What can I expect to have when she (SHE!)
arrives and I take her to see a doctor and have to fill out claim forms.
We have Blue Cross/Blue Sheild.  The child won't be legally ours for six months.
Will we have to take an flack from them?  (I've already got a lawyer moving
on this...we'll go to court the next day for custody.)  What if the kid
needs major medical care (a la hospitalization)?  Will the insurance argue
that it was a pre-existing condition and therefore not covered?
[Paranoid? You bet! I don't trust beaurocracies.]
