Matching Panel

We received a unanimous YES!!  Happy dance 🙂 I was filled with a mix of excitement and nerves in the run up to Matching Panel.  Mr R was calm as always, and adopted a ‘what will be, will be’ attitude.  We arrived at Panel and were shown to the kitchen where the social workers (ours and Lily’s) and their managers… Read More

The Meetings

The last few weeks have been a blur of emails, paperwork and appointments (meeting with the foster carer, transitions training, and meeting with the medical adviser), but all is going really well and we’re due to attend Matching Panel the week after next.  We’ve also received a DVD and photos of Lily – I know I’m bias but she’s adorable….

Potential Link

Christmas has been and gone, and we are now in a new year, 2016!  We didn’t expect to hear anything from social services over the Christmas period but thought we might have received an email or call in the new year.  Nothing.  So I emailed our social worker earlier this week, and yet more silence.  So, feeling a bit like… Read More

The Call Part Two!

A few weeks after the call that wasn’t, we got another call from our social worker.  Again about a baby girl, again she sounded right for us, and this time her SW had read our PAR and was keen to meet with us if we wanted to.  Mr R and I discussed Lily (not her real name) and decided, again,… Read More

The Call

Shortly after approval we agreed with our social worker that we would have monthly (on the monthly anniversary of our approval date) email contact with her, but of course should a suitable child come through she would notify us outside of that predetermined contact.  Those emails felt like a waste of time as there was never anything to say, and… Read More

Approved!

We are now officially approved to adopt.  Finally. For those of you reading this who I don’t know in real life, we were deferred at panel back in February.  I can’t go into the exact reasons here, but let’s just say we dared to disagree with our local authority which is a huge no no, and our social worker failed… Read More

Adoption Panel

I can’t believe that tomorrow we go before the Adoption Panel.  It’s been a long time coming but at the same time it seems to have come round quickly. Since the beginning of November we have endured (anybody who says it’s not an endurance test is lying!) the gruelling second stage of the adoption process.  We have attended the third… Read More

Adoption, Life 3

Adoption: Stage Two

Finally, after what has felt like a lifetime waiting for the Adoption Team to collate all our paperwork, checks to come back and for the Adoption Managers to meet, we have been accepted to proceed to stage two.  This is where the hard work really begins. We were notified by phone and at the same time offered a choice of… Read More
