Adoption journey

Monkey how are you doing post approval? Any links? X

I have signed up to be my parent again. If nothing else, it makes me feel like I am doing something to help. Emailed SW this morning to let her know and ask her how she wants me to go about expressing interest in any profiles.

I am considering CWW as well. I was previously a member of it and remember it being fantastic. So many children with lots of detail so certainly wouldn't be wasted money.

Anything on be my parent? Honestly go above her! Click on the enquire button then when you get their SW details call them directly for an informal chat!

Emailed today telling her I had signed up etc etc and she said she put me forward for another baby yesterday so my phone call did some good. If I see anyone on BMP then I will enquire but secretly hoping one of these two babies gets a yes for me!

Really feel for you Rainy, must be incredibly hard. Obviously when you find your little one the wait will all make sense but that doesn't stop right now being horrible. Fingers firmly crossed for these potential little ones, and good for you telling your social worker what for. This is the bit they truly don't understand, and how an unanswered email or no return call can really affect us xxx

 

[aimze]

rainy i really hope you get some good news from one of these two!

As lolly says, that unanswered call can lead to awful waiting when all you need is a quick email!!! Keep at her!! Do you know when she'll hear back about the baby from yesterday?

Totally agree with the others, it's awful waiting for that phone to ring, I used to drive myself insane with it all!!

Lola I agree that if little ones are given opportunities, it will come eventually. We do a lot with our boy to encourage him to pull himself up and stand unaided but at the moment he just isn't ready. Regardless of numerous hours and hours of play based activities to encourage him. He simply isn't ready yet. They suspected he had hypotonia when he was very small and I'm starting to wonder if that is what is delaying him as it's certainly not for lack of input.

Today we had a total breakthrough on the good front! After a couple of weeks of nightmare mealtimes and lots of reassurance from lolly (thank you honey!) our boy is finally feeding himself finger foods again! He stopped whilst he was getting his last teeth and would just throw food around! Today I could have wept with joy watching him munch away, feeding himself

 

[Lolly1985]

Totally agree Dream, all little ones will do it in their own time, emphasis is all about it being child lead these days anyway. He's such a bright little button he'll probably just get up and walk one day!! You're doing fab hun, and glad you have your sensible teacher head on and aren't worried!! And hooray for eating! I'm so happy for you, it might sound small but I know what a relief and how rewarding it is!! xxx

 

[dreamofabean]

Thanks lovely,
It really is a huge relief! Tonight he's made me us giggle by refusing spoon fed food and only eating the finger foods on his tray! Ha ha! Cheeky chappy!! It's a huge breakthrough for us, I just hope it lasts! Xx

Hi everyone,
Hope you're all well?
Things are good in the dreamy household, we have been taking advantage of the beautiful weather and getting outdoors! We got little man a smart trike last week so have been walking everywhere with it! He adores it! We still have his pram parent facing so he loves being able to see out with the trike and we keep having to stop and touch trees etc! Lol
Today has proven a super exciting day little man has finally pulled himself up onto his feet!!! And.,,. Taken steps with his push along walker! I am a super proud mommy! All the input is finally paying off! Yay! My clever little boy
Hope you've all had a lovely weekend! Aimze are you still floating on cloud 9?! Rainy I hope you hear something soon honey x lolly hope your weekend has been lovely and little pink has enjoyed the sunshine xxx
