I think that best sums up how I feel at the moment. I was all geared up for a long wait to find a match when my sw called today with a potential link. I am definitely interested but need to find out more - I'm a bit worried that my shock may have come across as lack of enthusiasm.
The boy in question is probably at the extreme end of what I had said I could cope with in terms of potential learning difficulties and developmental delay but younger than I dared up for (13 months) and has been with same fc since birth.
I guess I will have a better feel when some of the tests come back and I can discuss things with the medical advisor. At the minute I am grappling with whether what I feel now is just normal worries and sensible precautions til I know more or if it means I have not found the right child yet.
Don't know how I'm going to sleep tonight!
