Adoption journey

[karenh]

Yay! That is so amazing! I am so happy and excited for you! This will be great!

We, or I should say I, am making more progress on our paperwork. I have written the letter to the birth mom. That is pretty much the first thing she sees when she is looking at our profile. All that is needed on that is DH writing about me. I will see if I can pull some teeth and get that done this weekend. Our physicals are after work today. I need to find my marriage certificate and DH still needs to finish his questions then we are done with Phase 2. That should be done this weekend! Oh, other than our training. We will do class three this weekend as well. Slowly but surely chugging along.

Aimze your well on the way now, look forward to hearing your journey.
Karen your much more organised than I was a and I don't think I even had much paper work.
1 more sleep till our holidays and I am so ready for it.

 

[aimze]

Karen sounds like your getting stuff together well yay! I love hearing how you're doing on the Us side!

Loski I'm amazed they've taken us on...honestly thought they'd want us to wait but super excited...

I think the fact I made original contact 18 months ago shows this isn't a rash decision...

So excited! Keep checking bemyparent an seeing those beautiful children needing homes!

Wow, seems to be the day day for good news.
Aimze - so exciting for you to finally be on the rollercoaster.
Karen - I was always ultra organised with paperwork too but I think I liked to feel that I was doing something to move things along.

I have also had a great day. Social worker emailed me a copy of my PAR to check and I'm really happy with it. She also said that she has a couple of LOs for me to consider once panel is done!!!!

 

[dreamofabean]

Wow exciting stuff rainy! X

 

[karenh]

Thanks guys! You are so sweet. Yes I am really organised. (you should see my filing system) but it is just with the adoption stuff. You should see my house. It really helps me to feel like I am on top of it and doing something to achieve our goal of a family.

Rainy: Awesome news about your PAR being great and how exciting the SW has some littles in mind for you! I hope you find yours soon.

Loski: Have a blast on your vacation!

What a fab news day!!

Aimze that is great! You must be so excited, once you start it's a whirlwind and that is exactly how we like it!! So happy for you hun!

Rainy, whoop whoop for PAR and even bigger whoop whoop for potential links.... wow, you must be at the thought! September panel here you come!

Karen, well done, you are getting so much done in such a short space of time! You'll be a mummy before you know it Good luck with your medical check!

Loski, It's holiday time!! Have a great great time hunny, long time coming, you all deserve it!

Dream, how was glamping? Did it rain? Was it glam?!! Welcome back!

Well we submitted the APR (adoption permanence report) paperwork today which SW has submitted to the LA so our bit is now all done. I handed my notice of leave in at work too I will finish on 17th September and take annual leave until placement day on 27th which is when adoption leave pay will kick in. As we have holiday coming up I have worked out I only have 13 working days left!!

Have been buying basics today, SMA, Johnson's bath bits, sponges etc. Also little pink's special duck taggie teddy thing arrived! It's sat in her cot waiting!! can't believe less than 4 weeks until MP, and 5 weeks today we will have spent our first day with our daughter, the most beautiful little thing I have ever seen. My best friend said she will be a heartbreaker, my DF said that in that case there'll be no boys allowed in this house

Lolly what wonderful things are happeningto you, and so quickly! I can't believe only 13 more working days. That is amazing! 5 weeks and you little girl will get know know her mommy. It is so amazing how wonderful this journey can be.

Thank you Karen. I have set her picture as the wallpaper on my phone, my heart melts each time I see my daughter

Glamping was fab thanks Hun we had a right giggle and it was lovely to get away for a few days! My friend is a bad influence though and we ended up buying a few bits for little Man! Lol. I've kept the receipts but we couldn't resist! Lol. I just pray all works out ok! Court is 3 weeks today, and counting!! Lol

I just want my court date to be here so i can tell CPS to kiss my ASS. WE were supposed to have a visit with baby boys siblings, since they want us to take them, but it was canceled and no one bothered to tell us! Well, the judge will hear about this--WEEEE did our part

 

[aimze]

Lola you really are having problems there really hope everything irons out quickly!

We've been needing a decorate of spare room for years so were now going to do it so SW doesn't think we're tramps lol...

Found these gorge blinds...should be unisex & child friendly..I have a weakness for patterned blinds lol x

 

[Lolly1985]

They are gorgeous blinds!! Regretting plain pink now, haha!! Have a feeling our good friend Dream will just love them too!! XxX

 

[dreamofabean]
