Adoption journey

Hi everyone :hugs:

Loski that is lovely, your baby girl is yours forever :cloud9::cloud9:

Welcome Melly, fab to have another on board :hugs:

I feel like all I do is whinge at the moment so I will start with the positive - and this is the big positive.... today went brilliantly :happydance: Silly me getting in knots over every little thing and all was fine (i'm sure all you rational people knew it would be!) She literally went through everything and ticked it all off, told DF she would see his next payslip and our P60s when she brings our PAR next month, not a problem. We finalised everything and she is still certain that we will be at panel next month. SW said she will do a phone interview with our referee who is out of area so it isn't holding things up. So panel hopefully in 6 weeks :wacko: She read through parts she has done for our PAR and also showed us some profiles!! One really stood out to me, little lad 14months.... anyway, lets not run ahead of ourselves. She is going to contact us when PAR is done to come out and show us, hopefully in a couple of weeks.

She then went to meet our second referee. Sounds like it went well, we are meeting for coffee tomorrow (my treat of course) as she is dying to tell me!!

So the bad news... boiler has just started leaking everywhere (only 3 years old, pipe is corroded :wacko:) and now I think I am getting an abscess :dohh: Been dosed up on painkillers and DFs strong anti inflammatories all day. At one point at work I felt like I was floating and started talking a load of crap to my colleague. Emergency dentist in the morning me thinks, boo :nope:

But all in all a good day, mustn't grumble!!
 
Boo to pipes and poorly teeth :( but omg to the rest :happydance: sounds like its all going swimmingly! We are about a month behind you then: I shall be watching closely so I know what's to come :haha:
Wonderful news honey :)
 
YAY Lolly! Moving right along! It looks like we are right there with you--our last reference was faxed, scanned AND emailed today and all were recieved by our SW. She is coming on Monday to finish up our home visits!:bodyb::yipee::bunny::happydance:
 
Congratulations Lola!! You, me and Dream seem to be getting there together now! :happydance: Hopefully we are not waiting too long now for our babies and get to share the joy some of the ladies on this thread have [-o<

Loski- that is wonderful news :happydance: So sorry to hear about LO being poorly, but very happy about your good news!! Well done hon- she's yours!!

XXXXXXXX
 
How is everyone??
I'm on half term break at the moment so loving being off work and trying to sort as much out as possible in the house!
Our Sw has told is we need to start thinking about our family book so I've been looking online at examples etc. it was recommended on training to add a character or teddy in pics that we can give to the child on the first day of introductions. Today I ordered it! :happydance:
We have gone for Dumbo as he is gender neutral really and I love that in the film he is dropped by a stalk! :ha ha: we have had him personalised too so there's a tag saying "love from Mommy & Daddy x"
The little things that delight me these days!! Lol.
Do once he arrived we can start taking photos of the house and family and build our album :) very excited!!
 
That's lovely dream, we got a build a bear teddy and used that in our photos. She was terrified of it lol but loves it now.
I'm sitting here waiting for the phone to ring to say that our court order is done and our baby is 100% ours.
 
I'm new but love reading so far.....I am so excited for your family loski :)
 
Wooohoooo it's finally done, just got the call to say its all complete. Our child is all ours just the celebration hearing to go where we will say goodbye to her sw. It all went through with no problems and she now has the names we have chosen for her. Except first name. Thankyou to everyone on here for all the support and I'm looking forward to hearing the same from all of you xx
 
I usually stalk silently but had to say Congratulations Loski, that's wonderful!
 
Congrats Loski :happydance: Hope to be joining you at this stage soon!! XXXX
