You won't sleep much tonight.....

Panel sounds worse than what it is. You will be fine.

So pleased for you both. We have adopted 2 one of which was fostered first. We have been to panel 3 times. On all three occasions the panel were really nice smiley people.

Your dreams will all come true tomorrow... Grin

How exciting, have a great day!

MrsM2509 · 15/10/2014 18:51

Thanks! Is it much different to approval panel, or does it feel the same? I've tried to keep busy today so that Im tired tonight but still doubt ill sleep. Luckily we have the first slot this time

So exciting....

Eek! Try not to worry (as if), I agree with those who say you wouldn't be going to Panel if there were any doubts.

So exciting!

Good luck. Good luck. I also hated approval and loved matching. I felt very fired up and ready for everything the matching panel could throw at us... and they started by saying a huge thank you to us which really disarmed me.

MrsM2509 · 16/10/2014 11:33

We got a yes!!! So happy!!
