Can't wait to hear how it's gone Aimze!! Fingers crossed for more good news!

Loski, sounds perfect. You have finally got the life we all dream of and it sounds wonderful. And nearly holiday time too! Happy happy

Lola, you do what's best for your little boy and your family. Hope all is ok

Only 4 sleeps now people, Yay!!!

Yay, those days will fly by Hun!! It's life appreciation day isn't it? We don't get one in our area if child is under 18 months rubbish!! Will you get to meet foster carers then? X

 

[Lolly1985]

Yeah it is. Not many people involved with little pink but still nice to meet those that are! We also are meeting siblings social worker which will help gain further incite. Can't wait, it's the foster carers we are most excited about obviously!! (We hope they'll have photos!!)

 

[dreamofabean]

Sounds like things are looking up for most people! I hope it stays that way and all the things you guys have going on in the next month go great!

 

[Lolly1985]

Oh no aimze!!! But like dream says, at least you will be super duper prepared now! Must be disappointing though, boo!

Little pink has 4 siblings dream. There is a plan for letter box contact going forward if deemed appropriate, but right now there is nothing in place.

well then i better hurry and get a lawyer, baby has 2 sibs they are now trying to say that all 3 need to be placed together, even though they never have lived togehter and that if we dont take them, baby will be removed from our home. We were advised to get a lawyer of our own. We will begin checking into that shortly.

Hi all,

Just stumbled across this thread (I usually just read the posts in the toddler section).
I am currently going through the assessment process in the UK and would love to join you all in keeping fingers crossed for each other.
I will go back and read previous posts to see all your history and find out a bit more about you all

 

[Lolly1985]

Oh my god Lola, they can do that?!! Surely not?!! It is bullying and awful. So you take them on, end up overwhelmed in an environment maybe not right for a family of 5 and then things start to deteriorate? Then what?! Horrified, hope you get that lawyer soon. Thinking of you!!

Welcome Rainy! We are a mixed bunch of UK and US girls at varying stages of the process. Love adding to our little community! How far along are you and what are your hopes for a family? We initially thought siblings and then an 18 month ish little boy. We are now linked with a single baby girl. Life can be strange!! But we are so happy

 

[Rainy123]

Hi Lolly!
I've done all the home study and now just waiting to get the PAR done hopefully for panel in September (but this seems to change a LOT - I was originally told May!)
I'm a single adopter so I've been talked out of a sibling group and now looking for 1 toddler-age. Progress has been made over the last week and now I'm so excited I can barely function - just want it to be here now!
So exciting that you're linked with a little baby girl. Look forward to reading all about her coming home

 

[dreamofabean]

Welcome rainy! All sounds exciting for you Hun!
Lola that sounds very stressful Hun! Hope you are able to sort it soon x

 

[Lolly1985]

Hope you get your PAR soon!! We got ours last minute dot com and had an evening to read, ammend and return! To the wire these social workers!! September's nearly here, not long now! The build up is so exciting isn't it! Have you bought anything yet? XxX

 

[Rainy123]

I have bought lots as I just couldn't pass up great sales etc. and it helped to spread the costs a bit. I actually finished my home study in April so the PAR has been a long time coming!

 

[dreamofabean]

Oh gosh that is a long wait!! Ours was very much like Lolly's, only we had a day to read and then take it to the office! Lol. All worth it though
I did the same with buying, have most big things, just need a couple of stairgates, a monitor and a carseat. Oh and clothes of course! Lol
