Brilliant news. Great timing too with the long weekend to celebrate.
I always remember people telling us to get as much sleep as possible now as we won't be able to later. Once DS arrived, a terrible sleeper and still is two years later, I wished I had somehow been able to train my body during this time to function properly with fewer hours of sleep!!!

Fantastic news! Yay!! Hope your hubbie isn't on nights again tonight and you can celebrate together. Hope the life appreciation day is soon and you get some other dates in the diary soon too! I bet you can't think of anything about your girls right now!

Hi Amberle,
I'm ok if not a little stressed which is to do with the lack of staff at work more than our potential match. Not actually really celebrated at all yet and DH has to have an op on his knee tomorrow afternoon!

Have our SW visiting next Tuesday to discuss the child appreciation day and what they may entail. She also wants to speak Lollipop regarding her thoughts and feelings towards the girls etc...
In her email she did say that even though we have been invited to a child appreciation day the LA have not made a decision as yet that we are to be matched with the girls! From Adoption Link I have seen that there are 2 links being considered, just hoping we are number one!!

ladybug - that can't be right, surely? inviting you to a child appreciation day when not even making a decision about whether you are officially linked with the girls - you should check that out and get them to nail their colours to the mast. It's just not right, it cannot be right, not at the stage you've got to. Their selection visit was just that - they're either selecting you guys, officially linking you and moving to the appreciation day or, keeping you all at bay until they've decided on any other links they're considering. Be hard - after losing out on a LO, I've become much harder, well, just polite but blunt; please be careful. x

Knight we have our SW visiting tomorrow so will ask her as everything I have read on the WWW has stated that the child appreciation day is the step before matching panel so us the prospective adopters get a whole overview of the child and to ask questions to the people that know them best. Then we can say hand on heart this child is definitely the one we want after hearing the warts and all version of them as opposed to the nicey SW version!!!
Will see what happens tomorrow although not sure our SW actually knows anymore than we do as FF SW for girls is not in the office until next Monday, 9th June.
Will let you know after our meeting tomorrow afternoon.

Hi Hun, we asked our LO SW how long they had been working with LO. As we wanted to be certain they knew our little one and was not just reading something.
Am sure it will be all good, ask as many questions as you want...let us know how you get on
A xx

I have 10 pages of questions for the FC which I need to tweet as I wrote them when we had a potential link to a 10 month old LO, I think I got a lot of them from a thread on here. Hoping that the more questions we ask the better it will look when we go to the appreciation day.

SW visit was meant to be 1.30 but SW text to say she had an emergency with one of her cases so can't make today :-(
Anywho means we can either do more stuff to the house or pictures for welcome book or pop to Toys R Us! Bet you can't guess which option is winning at the moment?! ;-)

It wasn't a big meeting it was mainly so SW could speak to Lollipop regarding the girls, how she feels and what she thinks etc...! She said she would contact us later on in the week to rearrange.
Amberle we didn't buy anything. We went to have a look at playhouses but didn't get one.

Hmmmm...our SW emailed on Friday after I spoke to her saying that the LA the girls are with weren't happy that we had made a collage with pics of our nieces (when they were about the same age), us and the girls just for the selection visit to show the resemblance! It was for selection visit only and has not been shown to anyone else or shared anywhere and also for some reason they think we have saved copies of the girls CPRs on our PC!!!! Not even sure why they think we have a saved copy of their CPRs  We only ever received an anonymised copy via email which we printed and then deleted  Wondering why it took almost 4 weeks for them to mention it if they were that unhappy about it?! |

You can't do right for doing wrong !!! Do you think it's being used as an "excuse" to not go with you? It seemed strange to be talking about taking you to a life appreciation day when they hadn't officially decided whether you were the only ones in the running. Again as you say: why does it take 4 weeks to say that? Why was your SW talking about the life appreciation day only in the last couple of weeks? They're a strange breed, that's what I'm finding.....not helpful to you, I know. So, has your SW gone back to find out whether this is an 'issue' and whether or not they are still considering you / going ahead with the meeting next week? It's really so frustrating x

I know Knight, I kind of made me want to scream. Had an email from our SW today, she had been trying to text me for a couple of days but I lost my phone on Tuesday so had to cancel it  , she said not to worry about it and that had been trying to contact the girls FF SW without any success at present but her supervisor was going to try again tomorrow. x x x |

Let's hope ladybug that she actually gets hold of her tomorrow and they let you know what's happening before the weekend and hopefully the 17th is still on. I'll be keeping everything crossed. x
