Adoption journey

Forums New posts
We have a meeting with our SW next week to review a smaller number of possibilities. Of course I'm still thinking about the one who is not free for 3 more months but I'm trying really hard not to.
 
Hi all it's great so far we had her for a couple of hours yesterday at the park by ourselfs and today we have her from 1 take her back at 6 and put her to bed. She met my step sons yesterday and was a bit scared at first but settled down. Speak soon loski x
 
How lovely Loski :cloud9: How does it feel? Is she getting used to you being around already? Bet you cant wait to have her all to yourselves at home.....

Feel so excited for you hon. XXXXXX
 
Yes she's getting there she's very placid and is used to being passed about so I want to work on building a strong bond with so she's not so willing to be passes around. I can't wait to be home with her xx
 
We have our date for matching panel. Nov 8th :thumbup: Making arrangements to meet with FC and a consultation with the Community Paediatrician.

Hope all is going well for everyone - in particular, intros for Loski and her LO and best of luck to Lyns for the decision meeting... :kiss:

xx
 
Congrats zero so happy for you xx
I put my baby to bed tonight and did all the night time routine she cried a little bit but not too much.we are coming home on Thursday and we can't wait speak soon loski xx
 
Well we were supposed to have our decision today....and it's been delayed due to a doctor deciding that because this little lad can't hold a pencil correctly (at 2 and half!!) then he needs to be tested for developmental delay.

I'm so mad!!! He's 2 and half for chrissake....I'm 43 and don't hold a pencil right all the time!!! And why would that make a difference to whether we are a good match for him. This little lad needs a loving home and family and this will wrap him up in care for longer.....bloody bureaucrats!!!:growlmad:

Not a happy bunny tonight!!
 
Totally agree with you lyns that's ridiculous. Have they said how long it could take hope its not too long for you xx

I bathed my lo this morning and she screamed but she also screamed when fc did it so not concerned too much. This time tomorrow night she will be tucked up in her cot (hopefully) lol
 
Oh Lyns - its so bloody frustrating at times - believe me, we know all about the miles of red tape!

How long will this delay things? Are you also still waiting to hear if you have been chosen over the other prospective adopters? If you are, that's just prolonging your anxiety-not fair!

Feel bad for you hon but hang in there! XXXX
 
Thanks guys......calmed down a bit today, but yes, Zero, we are waiting for both the choice to be made and confirmation (hopefully) that he is coming to us. It is so difficult......we know that we and him are a perfect match for one another, and we would make a great family unit together, but we know nothing about the others......so very frustrating. I already feel so protective of him......and i'm sngry they are messing us and him around when we could be getting on with being a wonderful family.

We expect an answer now early Oct......too long :(
 
Lyns I hope time flies for you and that you get your answer soon :flower:
Hope everyone is doing ok, we have our little girl sleeping in her cot upstairs :happydance: and it feels amazing and a bit overwhelming. It will be all of you soon with your lo's upstairs asleep and I can't wait to hear all about it. Anyway I'm off to bed now as I don't know what time little madam will be up for her bottle as its our first night together. Goodnight all xx
 
What a beautiful thing to hear from you Loski......i bet you don't sleep tonight through smiling, but if you do......sweet dreams! I have a real lump (of happiness) in my throat tonight for you xx
 
We actually have a snoring princess lol. She slept from 7 till 4ish then bottle and back to sleep till 8. She's fast asleep now and mammys having a well deserved glass of wine. Hope everyone has a good weekend xx
 
Under your name it says 'hoping to adopt'... well you did it Loski!! I really am choked up reading your lovely posts about your little lady. You deserve all the happiness she is surely bringing. Have an amazing weekend xxxxx
 
Hi all, our little princess has been a bit unsettled today not sure whether it's cause I changed her routine or she may be missing Fc. We have cut 3 hours from her nap time through the day as Fc had her sleeping for 5 hours and she was hardly eating any food. So now she has a max of 2 hours after lunch and she is eating better already. We also changed her bath from a morning to a night as it seems nicer to have a bath then story and cuddles before bed. Hopefully she will be better tomorrow she wasn't that bad though just a bit more whiny and crying whenever I leave her I secretly enjoy that though lol. Let's see what tomorrow brings though and I still say she is our perfect child we couldn't have picked a better one and she is so worth the wait. Goodnight all xx
 
Loski I know nothing about childcare but my instincts would say that 5 hours is too long to nap during the day :thumbup: I'm sure it will take a while for things to settle but it sounds like things are pretty good already :thumbup::cloud9:
 
Finally officially debt free!!!! Woooo!!! May ring adoption team tomorrow and get this show on the road :happydance::happydance::happydance:
