It’s funny you should say that because originally we were also told that there was no way we could adopt a non-European child as we are both European. Then we were told we **could** as long as the birth mother didn’t have any objections. Very strange.
Re Fostering while waiting for Adoption, that’s what we have been discussing lately. I’m very lucky to work in a Primary school, so if we Fostered primary school aged children, they could possibly go to my school with me in the morning, come home with me in the afternoon and I would have school holidays off with them. It’s just a thought at this stage, but I think it would be possible. Nope my S/W has not discussed this with us. I haven’t mentioned it to her tho. I think we would only look at short-term placement.
I’m very happy tonight. We got told today that our profile (well the written part of it anyway) is finished. Our SW is happy with it. So the next step is to put it all together with our photos etc and send it in for final approval. Hopefully this wont be too far away. I’m very excited. It has ONLY taken 4.5 months to get to this stage. Ridiculous I know!!!
I’m so glad we have these conversations. I talk to dh all the time about the things I am learning from you guys and that I am getting a lot from our conversations. I feel bad that he doesn’t really have anyone like you to chat too. But he’s not really a ‘chatter’ anyway. We are quite different people too. He is a putter offerer. Why do something today, when you could do it tomorrow, or next week, heck why not next month, whereas I am a do now DO NOW DDDDDDOOOOOO NNNNOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!! type of person. This has caused problems with the writing of our profile. He also never shows outwardly when he is excited. I find this incredibly frustrating sometimes. I know he IS excited, but it would be wonderful to actually see it and not just know it. Does this make sense?
