Today - I can't even.
The Good: As I mentioned previously, DarkKnight got his W2 and he's getting good refunds. The appraisal on the house is set, and while I was out with my daughter, I got word that the $5000 downpayment program 100% approved us and so our paperwork is back to underwriting with these details. We are now just waiting for our official "clear to close." Keep your fingers crossed that we hear back soon!
The Bad: Trump did suspend the rate break, indefinitely. So our housing payments are back to being $20 more a month. It's crap, but that's the way it goes, I guess.
The Bullshit: I was getting into the shower this morning when my daughter called to me through the door. I had to get dressed and attend to her immediately. She had received a friend request, a message and a PHONE NUMBER from her birthmom. This lady should not have my daughter's name. My daughter was in shock and unhappy and a little angry. It's her birthday. This is an intrusion. She wanted my help in figuring out what to do, and making her Facebook more locked down. We circled the wagons, and I sent off a message to her siblings' adoptive parents, to let them know that my daughter had been contacted. If birthmom found my daughter's Facebook, then it stands to reason that she could have checked her friends list and found her siblings there.
The only thing that was good about this is that we got to peek at birthmom's Facebook, and it was clear that she is STILL friends with the guys that were involved in my daughter's horrific abuse. What's terrible is that birthmom's profile pic is of a 5 to 6 year old little girl. The thought that my daughter has a new sibling is disturbing, but there is no indication of who her father is. I really really hope it isn't the last guy she was dating when my daughter was removed from her home, 13 years ago. Hopefully it isn't even her child. Doubtful though, as the only public photos she has are of this child. Ugh.
My daughter blocked her birthmom and did not respond to her message. She was more angry than anything, I think. But she was shocked. I told her she can think on it this weekend, if she wants to say anything, but she was really calm and said that there is nothing to say.
