Keep everything crossed. I think it's going to be a bit gruelling.
LO's FF sent through prep questions pre-panel to our SW at 7:30pm this evening. These are not official questions from panel. Just what the FF and SW want to make sure we have thought about in preparation.
They included the gem "what lessons will you (adopters) take from the previous failed placement and how will you be mindful of them going into your placement......"
Like this isn't something we've been asking them about since the beginning.... The people who actually were involved in it.
To say our SW and Mr Bear were unimpressed is an understatement. As for me, I've decided these muck ups are a big part of why we're doing this. We're not just in that room for us.
Will update again tomorrow.
We have a 9ish meeting with panel chair, 11:30am pre-meeting with LO's FF, panel at 1pm and post panel meeting with LO's FF at 2:30pm.

Good luck MrsBear.
Incredible that you should heed lessons as if you had been the decision maker in the past.
Still, hope it all goes well for you today. Keep us updated, I'm sure you will.

WE'RE MATCHED!
Panel didn't finish until gone 3pm and then we had a very tense 20mins waiting for the call back. But the decision was unanimous (with no recommendations to mitigate vulnerabilities).
We're very happy. Albeit tomorrow the real work begins 😊

And Moo, I'm still pondering forum names. It'll be bear related & Little Cub is one of the options! 😏

Watching the Jubliee celebrations has inspired me to give LO the forum name Paddington.
FC has set us the mostly lovely mix of photos today. 😍

Thanks All!
We're currently waiting for the ADM confirmation and matching certificate. That's expected this week.
Assuming that comes through as expected, Paddington will be told on 15 June and given our book (which we finished off this weekend). Then we get to meet him for the first time on the 18th! 😊
Seems like an age away but at least I can count the days down (unlike panel).
