[dreamofabean]

I'm so happy I posted twice!!

 

[dreamofabean]

just wonderful news!!! Your beautiful girl's name now matches who she really is amazing news! So thrilled for you xxx

 

[LolaM]

well ladies...i got the news from the RE, i have too many factors against me to have my own child. my husband will not have a child that looks like him or his father. He isn't worried about it, we are going to continue to foster and perhaps adopt one of the children that comes through our house,, the boy we have had since he was 3 months old is going to a relative he doesn't know and that isn't the most pleasant or child-friendly on the Earth. Disappointing end to a disappointing week!

Lola I'm so sorry you've had a bad week poor baby going back I can't imagine hôw you're feeling...what if your child looked nothing like Hub? I look nothing like my parents...

Lolly amazing news on lil pink how's baby blue getting on baking?

Well intros are nearly over!! He's amazing...we've no doubts what so ever but I do find it sad that in his natural environment compared to bring alone out with us he's a shell of his home self...that will come as he trusts us I know...can't wait to get him home now where the real fun starts!

Very in love!!

Rainy-a panel date! Wooooop fantastic news x

Lolly, such excellent news about the adoption order. So happy for you.
Aimze very exciting times. Pleased to see a little update. Sounds like things are going well. Which day is move in?

I've just woken from a dream of my boys coming home. July seems ages away but I am sure it will fly by. In the next 2 weeks my class take exams, I have to go to exam marker training, I have medical advisor meeting next Monday and then I go away to visit my new baby nephew! Exciting times!

 

[dreamofabean]

Oh Lola is he being placed with his siblings or alone?
AimZe that's fab news! Don't worry as it will all come quickly! When we look back at photos from the start of intros, little man just has a blank face ;( but it took a week or two and he was all smiles and giggles! It just takes time! I remember being told how ticklish he was yet he didn't show that with us for about a fortnight! But it came and it's great just building up trust and confidence in each other!
Rainy July will fly round!
Today we're off to the church we married at to discuss getting LO christened exciting!!

 

[Lolly1985]

Eeek Aimze, so happy for you! Nearly there lovely! As Dream said it just takes a little time, but honestly, not long, just stick to foster carer routine as much as possible those first few days (even if there's things you want to change!) to support a good transition. You'll all learn together and it will be perfect

Rainy it sounds like you have lots coming up so time will definitely fly! Are you meeting foster carers any time soon? Yay for some more blues

Monkey have you any news on teeny tiny baby?

Dream what did the church say? It such a lovely thing to be planning, very excited for you

Lola, thinking of you

Loski I hope you're all doing well, love to your princess

We are still extremely happy and relieved its all over. She is our forever baby girl!! We have a goodbye visit with our social worker tomorrow, really going to miss her. Really hoping she'll make celebration day, which should be very early in June. Can't wait. Just hoping this little man stays put because I will be there come hell or high water!! Tomorrow is two weeks since my waters went and he is fighting on. We are in 3 times this week for monitoring and scan so we're praying all continues to be well. They will deliver at 34 weeks no matter what as risk of infection becomes too great. Just not yet, I'm only 28 weeks. Keep fighting little man.

Love to you all xxx

 

[dreamofabean]

Your little man will keep fighting lolly, I know he will
Church were lovely, we were a bit nervous as haven't been for about 2 years! Oops! It's a new vicar but the same old people who made a fuss of little man we have to contact th church warden to send us forms etc but they seemed happy enough to do it! We explained we are thinking September time as it all needs to go through court etc and he was lovely about it. So fingers crossed! Hoping within next week or two we can set a date and get the wheels moving!! Yay!

 

[Lolly1985]

Yay Dream that's great news!!! I knew they would be lovely with you! I mean come on, how could they say no to such a little cherub!! Heehee

 

[dreamofabean]

He wasn't quite a cherub during the service lolly! Lol, he was a little monkey bum and had a bit (lot) of a moan! Lol. It was lovely going back though, especially being plus one with our beautiful boy

 

[Lolly1985]

standard!! They know when to turn it on and off!! Luckily his gorgeous lil face pulled him through

 

[Monkey78]

Hi everyone, hope you have all had lovely weekends. I have had friends staying with us, so enjoying lots of nice food and wine !! We are Still waiting on the placement order to be granted on the little one, hope to hear this week,. Will ring sw tomorrow to see if any other potential profiles are suitable, as I can't stand all this waiting!!! Lol.

Lola I am so sorry to hear your news, I really cannot imagine how you are feeling, but you sound so strong and focusing on fostering sounds great. I really admire your strength. Sending you lots of love.

Aimze, wow can't believe you are nearly bringing your little boy home. He will be fine, it will take time, but you will be fantastic parents and he will be one very lucky little boy.

Rainy, congrats to your panel date, like dream says July will be here before you know it.

Lolly, hope you are resting and looking after yourself hun, amazing news on the adoption order, that is such wonderful news. Congratulations.

And dream, wow christening plans how exciting.

It's been lovely catching up with everyone's news. Ps. Loski lovely to hear from you, seems like ages since you started this thread! Xxxx

 

[Lolly1985]

Fingers crossed for you Monkey, will be excited to hear any news

We had our final visit with our social worker today. I'll really miss her, after two years it will be so strange not having her pop round for a coffee and a chat Really hoping she can make the celebration day as she is going on holiday at the end of June. She really wants to be there too so we're both hoping for a date early-middle June time. Hurry up letter, I'm excited!!
