Meeting him today.........

[oinker]

we have been matched with our little boy and are meeting him today.
We have waited for this for years. I can't wait. I have been up since 0530 as I couldn't sleep. Feel really, really excited, nervous and anxious. The first meeitng will be a short intro. He is just over a year old so still young.

I pray it all goes well.

Bestest Luck Oinker - report back x.

How exciting, all the best!

Oh how wonderful

This really is the first day of the rest of your lives

I hope it all goes very well for you and him.

As a foster carer I both dread and look forward to this first meeting.

Dread: because it means I have to begin to let go

Forward: because this day will make a family very very happy

Oh yes, do let us know how it goes.
Good luck .

Oh nearly forgot, take your camera, in years to come he will want to know about the first time you met

EarthMotherImNot you must be very strong, the world is a better place for incredible people like you. I'd be useless, a complete wuss and yet you have the strength to think of the happy families you are helping to bring together.

DurhamDurham, thank you. Focussing on the adoptive family is often what gets me through the process, I'd be a wuss too otherwise

Ps our youngest DD lives and works in Durham

I wish you all the luck in the world, what a beautiful, memorable day for you. I can't imagine what you are feeling. Elation!!

Best wishes to you, Oinker and family!

Have a lovely day, Good luck

Wow! How totally wonderful! Enjoy the day, it'll be a memory to treasure forever.

How lovely.

Enjoy every second.

Are you allowed to take something and leave it with him? A teddy or a blanket?

Let us know how it goes?

Awww. How did it go?

How wonderful. I have to tell you that our daughter joined us six weeks ago and is the best baby in the world, so sadly your new son won't win that accolade . But I'm sure he will blow you away. Let us know how it goes, won't you?

How did it go?
