Dimple you sound a wonderful lady worrying about everyone else when you too have such a lot on your plate. I'm so pleased that at least one of your worries - the review meeting- is now done and dusted.
I suspect your FC will be used to having no support at meetings though - I don't think my own support worker has attended any of my review meetings during intros! It's shocking that Smiler's SW wasn't there though. From what you've said though, if she doesn't really know him then that won't be a huge loss.
Do you think maybe FCs view of clingy is different to yours? I'm only asking because I described my own FC as clingy to my mum today when telling her what a stressful time we've had over Christmas and yet my mum said she'd not noticed any change from little one's usual behaviour. As I'm used to LO being very independent even her wanting a cuddle seems 'clingy' in comparison to the norm. Does that make any sense? Or maybe Beamer's right and it was her way of trying to extend intros...
Hope you sleep well x

Well done dimple you have made it & with such style.... So sorry the review was so hard for you but as you so rightly say you are now on the home straight.... All days at your home from now on... with smiler going for last sleep on Friday night & then joy of joys move in forever early sat am.... Wonderful.... You really will be left to your own devises completely from now on... Only Friday now to get past... F/c may be tricky about what time she wants him home for the gathering Friday night.... But keep focused on pick up time sat am make it short & sweet to spare f/c upset....
Understand completely your upset about f/c lying about clingy smiler... I too really get upset by untruth... & this is something huge...
Can't wait for your next instalment happy smiler spendings daytimes in his new home....
Xx. moo. Xx

Gosh I find it hard to believe that neither SW turned up to support either of you. Feel especially sorry for the FC. She seems to have no support at all poor thing. I'd let the "clingy" thing go. In the grand scheme of things it is just one little comment and because the FC has done such a fab job with Smiler it would be a shame to let it mar your relationship. I think intro's are hugely draining for all concerned. It is an un-natural situation and everyone's emotions are on heightened alert, so one little off hand comment can seem like a big critism when really it was not meant to be. Remember FC is about to lose her little man and she is probably struggling bigtime inside but is trying her best to let go and that must be so difficult for her as she wants what's best for Smiler however hard it is for her. He is a lucky lad to have had such a loving start and it augers well for his future. Delighted to hear Smiler is coming home on saturday and that he can attend the FC's family event too - Results all round.

Fantastic to hear how you are getting on. Glad you survived the review meeting. Just think in a few weeks time Intro's will seem a long time past and it will just be the 6 of you. I'm glad there was a compromise about the FC family party. Not too long till Sat!
