You're so close! I sure hope arrangements fall into place for Milo to come with you. That sounds like the best bet, even if he's in a foster over there to start. At least he'll be close. And if he understands what's happening, hopefully that will make the transport easier.

As for the book and ad in Kirkus, that's a great step forward for Steemhouse. How cool that you got to give that police officer a copy of the book too! And to be reminded that there are good people everywhere.
