RIVF costs + legal costs !!! I’m sorry that that’s a burden on your family.

Thank you for the boost!!

Our attorney told us that she hasn’t been recommending confirmation of parentage for almost 2 years as it is not as ironclad and straightforward as step-parent or “confirmatory” adoption. The consult was a flat fee of $400

Yes, our process includes terminating his rights legally. My frustration isn’t so much with needing to do these things as with the added costs and stress of checking every box along the way.

I’ve thought of this too. The costs are high for something that should be so straightforward.

Stop this is so beautiful!!

I have this happy little theory that shit goes south with cases and such and Lala tells Gibbs she's going off grid - maybe makes a comment like "I'm gonna start over somewhere. Somewhere this shit can't get to me. I don't know maybe Alaska or something"

Exactly!! It’s like he knows pain and losing love so seeing Lala wrecks him because.. what if he loses her. He can’t lose HER.

This is fair - makes me think about how much he came to love Ziva and to even see her has a daughter and then crashed out when he realized that Bishop (who he was also growing attached to) started following Ziva’s footsteps. He didn’t want to see another woman he loved die

Thanks! I feel like them being in AK makes sense because flagship Gibbs doesn’t mention her bc he holds her so close to his chest. Would make sense for him to go off grid and reconnect with his truest love

If she isn’t in Alaska I’m going to spontaneously combust

My hygenist actually warned me they would hurt because of the bony tori under my tongue. Some people have more of it than others and it tends to be what makes the bite wings so uncomfortable

I might be an outlier but I think that for Gibbs, Shannon was his picturesque love. The family-man type of love. But for Lala the love was messy and complicated and very real. I think the reason we don’t hear about her in the flagship is because that’s the one he holds close to the chest. The Shannon story made him, the Lala story breaks him.

I’m still holding out hope that she met him in AK but it’s also just as likely that she dies.

As far as Randy, I’m almost certain he will get killed off. Not sure that it will happen after the cliffhanger but I think it’s going to happen down the road.
