Adoption journey

Will do! She is out Friday to see us so we may not hear off her before then? I'm trying to keep very open minded and not fall totally in love as the one in particular ( who we are drawn to) has quite significant medical issues. Typical of us really to love the complicated kid ;) lol
 
Oh lolly I hope you get to see more pictures of your little lady soon, really happy for you.
 
Just had an email from our Sw saying shell discuss it with us on Friday so I guess I'm getting nothing until then :haha:
 
What a big tease!! Although not too long until Friday dream, exciting times lovely!

Have spent a small fortune last couple of days, thank goodness for pay day next week!! Haha xxxxx

What did you buy?
 
a cot bed, mattress and sheets. Blankets, bibs, popper vests (loads!), changing mat and bits, grow bag (its lion king and so beautiful!!), paint, wall stickers, and shelves and rails as we are converting the walk in cupboard in little ones room into a big wardrobe!!!
 
Wow! That is a lot of buying! Hee hee! What kind of cotbed have you gone for?? Any ideas on pushchairs yet?? Exciting times!!
 
Oh, and got given a highchair today too! :thumbup: We have gone for a plain pine cot bed from Amazon. It has an adjustable height setting and was a really good deal. I was wanting the winnie the pooh one but so much more money for a teddy on the headboard :dohh: This one is lovely though, the wood is a warm colour and will fit in well. Been looking at some inward facing pushchairs but nothing set in stone there. I want to ask FC what they are using, whether she likes to look around when they go out etc. I think one with handles that mean she can face forwards or backwards depending on her mood would be good. Not loads about though to be honest....

how exciting! We didnt buy much because so many people gave us stuff because it was so last minute when they called us about him. We bought his crib, swim pants, a few toys...thats about it. what is a pop vest?
 
That's great Lola, lovely everyone shared and helped in getting ready for your boy. Popper vests are like little sleep suits/body suits that go under clothes and have poppers around the inner legs so you can open them up to do their nappy (diaper, haha!!!)

Yay Lolly and Loski!!!!!!!! I've been MIA lately with four kids its hard to keep up LOL...and I try to come on here as much as possible...I still haven't updated pics from the day of our adoption...woopsy! I need to get on it! We of course didnt get pics with the judge or anything. We got the new birth certificates yesterday :) they officially have our last name! We have to now get their social security numbers and that might take forever as the case worker told us to change them so no one else could claim them on their taxes etc...so we have to get them a new number issued so no telling how long that will take. Now we are just waiting to get their trust money funds from their account...its taking AGES to get here. That is going to help us get them all new clothes for school :) I can't wait til it gets here and I think we are going to go to my husbands Grannie's house as she's not doing so well :( so we want to see her at least ONE more time! They live in Mississippi...but not far from Memphis, TN so we might go out there and find something to get into :) just waiting on the funds....ehh system takes forever! I'm so relieved though that we now have them on our insurance rather than the state insurance now as well :) no more medicaid!!! I hope everyone else is doing well I'm trying to battle the kids to get in bed so I'll have to check in later on this week sometime :) glad all the news is for the most part GREAT :) YAY!!!!!!!
 
Our Sw just left. She has requested little chappys CPR but is yet to receive it. However she feels that she knows the family from a past adoption! She would prefer us to take a child from their la but will still get info n contact us. So just another waiting game!
 
Good news she is on it and has requested the information already. Bad news playing the waiting game because that is never fun. I hope it's a quick one lovely. Are there still mainly sibling groups within your LA at the moment? Thinking of you hun xxx
 
She asked who her team leader had mentioned child wise from their la but I said he hadn't, he just said they have children coming through now.
She didn't really mention any children, just said she would would look!
She had a feeling that although he was from a diff la, she may have placed his brother last yr! She remembers a child who had baby sibling with heart issues n that name. It's not a common name so sounds likely its same child!!
She said she will come out 8th aug and call us next week to update us on everything!
Tbh I just want his info! I know it's daft but we have really fallen for the little fella! Please keep your fingers crossed for us!! X
 
Oh dream, I know just how that feels so I will definitely keep everything crossed. Good luck lovely, really hope this is your time xxx
 
Dream I've got everything crossed for you as well, I know the waiting is really hard but try to stay positive and keep busy x
