Aww amazing news. All this approval (and sunshine) has put a real smile on my face!

A girl I did the prep course with sent me an email earlier in the week to tell me her and her husband have been linked with a boy. The email was really sweet, she obviously knew I would find it hard. And I did but your positive news has cheered me up.

Hope you both celebrated well!

I bet you are floating on cloud 9 monkey!

I am feeling very..... Emotional tonight. Our beautiful boy turns one tomorrow. He has lighting up days for a whole year!
Much as I don't want him to grow up, my sorrow tonight is for his birth family this time last year a young girl was in labour with a baby she knew she wouldn't be taking home. How scared must she have been? Knowing she wouldn't be able to tuck her baby up each night, so sing him lullabies and tell him how precious he was. All of the things that we now do.
I am so very grateful that social services intervened and were so pro active as it meant no harm came to our boy. Tonight however I can only imagine their sadness.
Tomorrow we will celebrate, his gifts are wrapped and balloons and banners purchased! It will be a lovely day for our perfect, perfect, son. However tonight, I just feel sadness. Our beautiful family has been formed through heartbreak (on both sides!) and I think there will always be moments when we feel this.

Monkey you better be out celebrating girl!

Oh Dream, you've just made me cry. You show amazing compassion and it's just as it should be. So often people want to gloss over it and while our babies are exactly where they should be, their journey into the world should never be forgotten. Neither should the birth parents gift of life and their loss. It's only what's right but they'll still hurt, it's inevitable. Feel how you feel tonight and celebrate your boy tomorrow. He is so blessed to have you. And of course you to have your son xxx

Dream you too have brought tears to my eyes....

After reading our potential LO's CPR and how much they wanted to bring them home, an how awful their own upbringing was...it's made me look at people who look a little 'scruffy' on the street in a different light...

I doubt they chose to be there, they are a repeat of their own parents past...I wish there was a way to stop this repetition of drug abuse/child abuse/neglect etc...I don't think it will stop repeating as you can only act like your role models! An if they sit on drugs/drink/their ass all day claiming benefits, never working, in prison etc how can they ever have a proper fully functioning life?!

So sad...

But dream, tomorrow is your special boys amazing day! And you, his mummy an daddy are there for him creating an amazing memory of his birthday!!!

Happy birthday Blue One!!

there is a break in the cycle, it is called adoption. I know for sure what my life would have been like if I had not been put into foster care and it wasn't the best situation but it wasn't as bad as where I came from.

 

[aimze]

Adoption definitely does break the cycle, but I think there needs to be another way to spot these at risk children who aren't on social services radar but schools have special life lessons?! I dunno I'm thinking out loud...

On a positive...meeting social worker next week for linking!
