Meeting foster carers...

We are meeting the boys' foster carers on Monday!  This is very exciting!  I have been very excited for days now.  Very much looking forward to our boys coming home.

No.  We don't have a date.  The adoption process is far too convoluted for us to have anything sensible like a date yet!!!!  Our social worker and their social worker, have confirmed already that they are happy to proceed.  We meet the foster carers on Monday, to find out more about the boys.  Then we officially say yes.  And then the social workers do a report that goes to a panel that has to ratify the decision.  And then that decision is officially ratified by an official decision maker.  And then introductions are planned.

The ridiculous thing is that the time from the official official decision being made, to us beginning a 2 week introduction period with boys, by the end of which they will be living with us, is generally really short.  It can be as quick as a week or 10 days.

This really means that we have to assume they are coming.  Otherwise we would have nothing ready!!!
