I received an email two weeks ago regards of my first contact letter from my ds who is with his new mum and dad. They gave me a date about a month ago of 10th February to expect my letter by, but would have to confirm with the adopters and let me know. I therefore emailed the social worker over a week ago to try and find out whether that date had been confirmed or not, and to ask how I would receive my letter, ie would I need to go to social services to collect or would it be posted on to me.

I have received no response so now don't know whether to expect a letter on Monday or shortly after or not. I also have the added stress of an operation on Wednesday next week so I was so looking forwards to it and to be able to write back to our ds

I don't know any of whats happening and despite asking am getting no where. I have found myself some counselling without social services help, but I am concerned there has still been no agreement drawn up and no sign of it being done, its like its all been forgotten about. I am now considering do I phone my solicitor and get them to push as my voice doesn't seem to be getting heard?

I have heard from the social worker, and they need to change it to the 25th of this month which unfortunately I have a medical check up that morning which means I cant make it. She has said I will be able to see the pictures of our son, and have the letter as well as the contact agreement.

I have replied saying I have medical commitments, and would need to reschedule and whether I would be permitted to take my best friend with me in order to see them, as I am going to be very emotional. I will also warn my house mate so that he knows if I am off with him there is a reason why

Hope you hear back soon mistakes and can get a rescheduled date as soon as possible, and can take your friend for support x

(it's Lilka by the way everyone!)

I am praying they are prepared to reschedule, they were aware of the health issues and that I had an operation scheduled for last week so it shouldn't be too much of a surprise to them to learn im not able to attend
