SC>        I thought that is what I did by having it certified.
Sharon, when you feel better & after you have given it some time, try sending 
it Registered.  (I'm a receptionist & I have to deal with this kind of stuff. 
When I go to work tomorrow, I'll get out my little postal handbook & e-mail 
the right info).  There is an extra fee you pay to have them sign the green 
card & extra fees for the mailman to obtain the name & address of the person 
who received the letter.
I believe there is a way to send it where only your b-father can sign for it. 
You can also send the letter via FedEx (or some other overnight service).
I'm new to this discussion group & I am reaching to you over the e-mail 
wires.  Give yourself time.  I know it's diffcult when you think time is 
running out.  But it's also easy to get crazy about things, especially around 
the holidays.  >gentle smile<
