Adoption Christmas meet

[Kewcumber]

Good idea/bad idea?

What d'yall reckon?

Plus the therapist bills to cope with the mental stress of travelling with Ryanair...

Would love to come down but my 'hotel' in London has had the nerve to move to get a bigger house for less money and not considered my needs for a London fix every few months (pre little man of course!)

If you fancy a night out in Liverpool though ....

We are an hour from London, and I've only had one night out since dd arrived and I made sure that I was only 15 minutes away.

I'll give it some thought as would love to meet you all!

Maryz is right

Devora - I used to be in Notts, but now in Newcastle area, about 5 hours from London. I don't think I can manage a 10 hour round trip. Such a shame :(

Although having said that, I am glad to be back up here. Always be a Geordie at heart :)

Ok, that IS a shlep. I'll let you off, Lilka.

Maryz and Bran, another Dubliner here...maybe we should have our own meet up sometime?

I'm hoping the referendum brings some positive change. We gave respite care for years for a child in long term foster care. She's 18 now so it's too late for her 9to be adopted) but her brother still has a chance to be adopted by their FCs. Their BM will never ever be allowed to parent them, she fucked up royally.

FamiliesShareGerms DM me?

This may be an uber stupid question, but would this be an evening thing, or daytime/afternoon?

I'd assumed evening, without children? But am I wrong?

Oh, if it ends up being day time with children, then I could definitely come.
Maybe we should do both- that way those of us living too far from London to make the evening could still join in?

That sounds lovely. Is there a date yet?

Not that I am aware of, no.
Maybe we should use meetomatic to look at potential dates?

I haven't used meetomatic - I use Doodle but either is fine.

I was assuming evening without children.

Sounds great. Please do include me. I'm not in London but it's not too far to get to if it were close to a tube station.

Ooo I would love to come. I'm in Liverpool too Claifairy x

Could I come too? Not in London but might be able to manage.

I've no idea what meetomatic or doodle are - if you set a date please could someone message me?
Would definitely prefer evening, minus children!

I'd love to do evening minus children, but I'm a single parent and have only left my dd twice, and only ever stayed 15 minutes away so an hour and a half is a bit of a scary prospect.

I'm happy to organise something daytime with children if anyone in a similar situation to me is interested in that!

I think I might be up for either a meet up with kids or an evening meet up. Depends really when it is.

How about a late afternoon with kids then carrying on till evening to accommodate everyone. . .I'm too much of a newbie to be trying to organise hides in corner

I would be happy to go to either or both, afternoon with kids or evening. It is a bit of a journey for me so I might not bring my dd but would just love to meet any of you who are free before Christmas.
