Just that really, we have a court date to make them legally ours. So excited :)

I filled in a form the other day and realised I could "legally" put their new surname as the event would be after the courtdate!!

I love their little souls and can't wait to share the rest of thier lives!!

You mafee smile, that is brilliant

I know v little about adoption, apart from what i know of two acquaintances going through the process. Even from that distance it was obvious how much the children meant to the adoptive parents. Good luck, I hope it all pans out well for you.

Lovesoftplay, congratulations It must be a brilliant feeling to matched and getting on with enjoying your life. How old are your little ones? How long have they been with you?

Well done (I am sure there has been a lot of hard work on your part to get here), lovesoftplay hope all goes well. Enjoy your little ones.

I thought final court hearing would be formality and it wouldn't make any real difference. But it did, subtley but it did.

Congrats.

Thanks guys, sometimes I still can't belive they will be ours! It was a long road (not really the adoption part, that was quite quick but the whole TTC, IVF, etc etc) but I am so glad we chose this route.

They are my everything even if they do keep me up all night :)

Oh, just realised that sounded really nosey. Don't answer if you don't want to - I was just being chatty Grin

Brilliant. Agree with Kew- thought it wouldn't really matter; it did

I loved our Adoption days. We went to a professional photographers studio for family photos and then had a family party at home.
It is a special day.

Congratulations!! We have just submitted our forms, and waiting for a date. Whilst it feels like she is ours anyway, I cannot wait for it to be legal! And another celebration for our family.
