Adoption

last minute panic

i posted a while ago about adopting our children's new sibling that has been born.

sw's are coming tomorrow - not 1 but 2 AHHHH - and i'm having a last minute panic.

not about the baby - we are happy to progress.....but about the sw's coming.

its been 8 years since we had the visits, the intrusion, the frantic cleaning, the biscuit dilemma's.....i can't even remember what our first visit was like.

we've not fessed up in RL so feel alone - we've also not told the dc so need to hold our nerves in getting them off to school, do the mad tidy up, do a few hours work before the doorbell goes.

any handholders here? and reminders of what the first visit entails?

thanks!

No advice I'm afraid as we've only done it once - but congratulations!

its done - LO is amazing, the journey is always worth it isnt it.....

4, I keep thinking oh 4...where are they all, what needs doing now?

15 years ago we were told we would never be able to have children - those awful words spoken over a young couple so ready to begin married life, oh how we laugh now....4!

and now the real journey begins......
