I hope all of our American friends stay safe over these next few days, will be thinking of you's xx

Allowed myself to walk through the children's toy and book section in Tesco today (first time!) Picked up a book called 'I'm Happy'. Opened it and the page I was on said 'I'm happy when I cuddle my mummy'. That second 'things can only get better' blared out of the speakers. Yay!

We are feeling so ready for this! Everything is done and all we need now is our little munchkin....

Hope everyone is OK.

[Lolly1985]

Zero, brilliant news, CONGRATULATIONS! It was always going to be a yes Wow, you will be meeting your Pickle a week on Monday, is it surreal?

Great news for you too Loski, I bet you can't wait until you all share the same name and she is all yours. So lovely

Hi to you all!!

Session 1 done, next one 2 weeks today. I LOVED it (is that totally geeky?!! ) Found it very therapeutic delving into my childhood, and as I was very lucky in my upbringing they were happy memories. SW put a slight spin on some things that I had not considered before which was very interesting and though provoking. She was here 2 1/2 hours. I was worried about the amount I had done for homework but she said it was great info and thanked me (showed me questions for DF - a page, and mine - about 5 ) Still talked for my full slot though!! We are finishing childhood and personality next time, along with education and doing CRBs. She is also bringing medical forms. She said session 1 went really well, so happy!

 

[Loski83]

Zero congratulations so happy for you, you need to celebrate as much as you can before the 19th. Lolly really pleased your first home study went great xx

 

[puppymom32]

[zero7]

Thank you lovely ladies!

It feels amazing!! Absolutely AMAZING!!!!!

After 2.5 years of being in the adoption process it has ended in the most wonderful way!
Any of you who are just starting, waiting, struggling - please keep going! When you see your childs face looking back at you from photos and you can actually say - that's our little girl/boy - nothing is more worth the wait

XXXXXXXX
