Introductions review meeting

Help! I'm just over a week into introductions with a 4yr old and I have a 7 yr old BC. Single adopter. I thought it was going well, new siblings getting on well when we are out of the Foster Carers house but less so when we are in their home. Nothing I'm concerned about it's just that BC is looking for attention when all adult eyes are on AC, low level, certainly not constant and fairly normal I would have thought. It's an unusual and stressful situation to be in as an adult, let alone for a child. Anyway, I thought I was on the home stretch, visits have moved to my house, placement day within touching distance and today I am told that there are concerns about me bonding with AC and concerns over the jealousy of BC to AC. It's come as a bit of a bolt out of the blue and it's not how I thought it was going. I've now got a review meeting looming and the prospect of a delayed placement day but I'm not sure what they are expecting to happen differently if introductions are extended and the moving in day is delayed. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do anymore! Do I smile and wave and or stand my ground and say what I think - which is that everything is going well and the quicker placement day can come, the better?

That's great news, I've been thinking about you Clarinda and wondering how things were going, so glad it has worked out. Our LOs came home yesterday too so I imagine you're as worn out and excited as I am Flowers
