Evacuation Route
Even though our child that we have not yet adopted won't be able to read any language for a little while, we are still required by state law to post evacuation routes in prominent places throughout the household. This sign is on her future bedroom door, along with a note that we will have fire drills on the 15th of every month, and that the drill will begin when you hear the whistle blow three times. We have finally found a use for the Tickets.com whistles that they gave us during our initial public stock-offering. We were supposed to blow them when the stock went above $20.00, but we are content to use the for fire drills. Ironically, the evacuation signs were a big hit at our Derby Day party in May. Who knew? We'll continue to keep the signs posted because we need to make sure that Irene, our adoption assessor, is proud of us, not to mention that it will remind us what to do in case of an actual emergency.

I thought you were adopting one baby, not a dormatory full of them...make sure you use high-grade steel when you build the fire escape!!! I can't wait to see the ever popular "alarmed" steel door which cannot be opened unless there is an "emergency"!!! I didn't see any fire stairs in the diagram...are you serious? I'm not coming to that hovel you call a home...its not safe!!!
I wonder if your soon to be child would have had evacuation routes posted in her palace in Columbia? Or is she following the route already? Birth --> Leave the Country = Safety!!!
