Adoption journey

[Rainy123]

I agree aimze, at some point you have to take a leap of faith and do some shopping with fingers firmly crossed. It took me a long time to allow myself to buy anything but now I do because I know it will happen, I just don't know when.

My attitude is that I can always return things or sell them on if they're not needed but at some point you will have to take a leap of faith and buy stuff before matching panel (as dream said) so why not do it now?

Well tomorrow when you are approved you can tell them about big fat 'told you so'!! Don't let them burst your bubble hun xxx

 

[aimze]

I don't know what their problem is?! Just let us be happy!!

Rainy any joy with family finding?

 

[Rainy123]

No joy here at the moment. As it's half term, my SW is on holiday so not expecting anything this week. Got pre linking in the not too distant future but I have learnt not to get my hopes up about those!

 

[aimze]

Is that pre linking with other profiles being looked at too?

Mines on holiday too...looks like a quiet week!

 

[Rainy123]

Pre linking is where they look at a few chosen profiles and choose which adopters to go with. Been there a few times but one day I will get chosen again...

I have a busy week myself coz it's half term. I go away tomorrow for my sisters hen do so will have to wait till Thursday afternoon to hear how panel went for you

 

[aimze]

Aw ww rainy hav a good time at the hen!! This might be your pre link xx

I agree with you all, you have to make purchases in advance, you never know how long its gonna be until our LO's are with us. We have got our buggy and a few other bits, and just about to start our nursery and buy the cot bed to go in it

we also had people giving us comments such as "isn't it a bit soon to be doing all that" it really grated me, but now i just thinks stuff em, we have all waited so long to be a mummy we deserve it!

rainy, good luck hope you arnt waiting too long hun.
lolly, has it really been 5 months already??
aimze, good luck tomorrow i will be thinking of you. Do you what time you are on? We are first on Thursday at 9.30am eek!!
