You know, it's not entirely what I was expecting, but I like that you haven't villified the social worker. She may be making things difficult for our hereos, here, but then, she has good reasons. It's realistic. (One of the few points I liked in "Micah" was when the agent who'd been giving Anita a hard time, pointed out that if he went around hugging people, well, he'd get talked about too. I like it when authors - fic or canon - acknowledge that hey, maybe this really *does* look sorta bad, and it's not just that everybody's out to get our poor heroine.)

I'm cringing at everybody thinking Dawn's a child genius . . because she's not, she's slightly-above-average, and if she gets put into the genius track educationally, sooner or later the experience gap is going to run out. Probably right about at college level. *cringe*
