If you're happy and you know it BURN THE BENCH! Or maybe wait a week...

[ChoccyJules]

I know I've been dripping this in across the board but terrified of jinxing as ADM yet to sign off but LO! Panel did say yes
2 months short of 4 years into the adoption process and we are officially (pending, yep) matched and due to start intros in three weeks time
I have been dying to tell all of you amazing, supportive people but didn't want to say anything too early...but I'm bursting!
Thank you so so much for your PMs, gifts and care over these 4 years of, well, poop.
I will stop gushing now.

Bloody brilliant!!! 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼

Vegan no. Victorious, maybe soon

Still waiting for the ADM, come ON!!!!

Do we need a sculpted-from-ice 'Waiting for the ADM' bench? That's two of us at least this week.

You seem to have an unhealthy penchant for bench building

C'mere,C'mere,C'mere,C'mere,C'mere,C'mere....are you all here?

I'm here!

I'm here too! With marshmallows to toast over the burning bench!

Well I'll just tell you then, you can be the first to know. ADM said yes

And Pru! Am so so so happy

Choccy! Choccy! Choccy! That's amazing!
Congratulations, I'm so thrilled for you all.

Fantastic news. Congratulations!

Yayayayayayayayay! Amazing news!

Tell us ad much as you're comfy sharing,

When are intros?

Sorry I was out but I'm here, late as usual.

And OF COURSE ADM said yes, you are a lovely family and at last you will have your LO home.

Yeahhhhhhhh!!

Intros in two weeks. AD is 5. BD heading twrds 9.

Hurrah! Delighted for you.

Ooh, knitting!

Congratulations!

Yahooooooooooooo! (Was selfishly away over weekend and missed the huge news) FANTASTIC!!!!

support team away?! Tut tut.
I am so fizzy the whole time. Two more days at work

Wonderful news! So, so pleased for you.

Is it 1 week to intros now? It's the final countdown!! (Der der der der, der da da da derrrr..... air guitar / smoke machines / 80s hair ....)

Thinking of you, hope you're all done with work and at the "stocking freezer and getting room ready" stage now!

All done with work. Stocking freezer, not so much, as intros are in another county and, just for a laugh, we are away on a long-ago booked holiday this week. So no stress or anything about going directly into intros after that, oh no.
