Christine,
Congratulations. Please give me a call ASAP (I'll PM you my number).
For the others wishing Christine well: we all know Chrsitine and her son have been through a great deal, especially given the time of the year. And noone probably means any real harm with what they might say publicly here on this or any other board. But please let me offer all a word to the wise: the less said on a public forum about the situation, the better off all will be. In 1994 my son's mother posted her version of what happened in court and the outcome to a bbs. A number of people flocked to her aid, one even said I should be castrated based on what she said. That person posted from a jpl.nasa.gov email address. In-turn, rather than react publicly to what was said, I contacted the facility security manager at jpl, explained the situation, forwarded the post in question, and sent him a certified copy of the post and an official complaint. Needless to say he was very apologetic, and the gentleman in question was immediately terminated for cause, especially given the fact that jpl was trying to get a handle on that kind of personal use of their network at the time.
Child custody issues are very sensitive issues, wrought with emotion from the many different parties privvy to such an action. There's no telling how any of the involved parties might react if they were to come across the kind of info that was posted today. Christine has some close friends and family that will help see her though these troubling times; we can help her by saying what we want to behind PMs (if need be), and avoiding exasperating the situation in a public forum like this one.
Just some words from the wise,
jan
