hi again,,,havent been back for a while( kinda lost my way to this thread ha ha) am new at this....
DH and i have decided to put profile in again about oct-nov ,,, so will have time to complete it and DD will be that bit older too,,,, she runs us ragged at times
,,, she is such an adventurer and its a fulltime job keeping her safe,,,, we have now nicknamed her "Danger Mouse"
she has a rocking horse and thinks its sooooo funny when she tips it on its nose and we have to run to stop her tipping over onto her head,,,,
shes only 13 mnths..
Spoke to our sw the other day and apparently this time around we dont have to do as much as they already have our full details,,, we just have to update.... whew wasnt looking forward to all that paperwork again..... i have just been reading all these posts and i cant believe how expensive it is to adopt for you guys over there,,, ,, here in New Zealand we dont have to pay anything,,, just our lawyer and bmother lawyer fees and thats it,,,, we dont have agencies,,, its run through the government.... and all adoptions are newborns...very rare to get older child at all,,,,, mind you there arent that many adoptions per year.......
Know what you mean about the whole insensitive friends thing friend is 3 mnths pregnant and told us the other day,, very happy for her ,,,, but couldve slapped her when she said " yeh, it took two months to get pregnant,, was getting really worried that it took so long" argh helloooooooo,,,, this comment made even though she knew we went through fertility treatment for 5 years before we adopted ,,,, i mean honestly...
anyway now i know how to get here i will be back,,,, are starting profile soon,,, argh hardest part for us....
best wishes to you all
