Matching panel

Getting real nervous and excited, we have matching panel coming up real soon. Can't help but feel as though something is going to scupper our chances, I don't know what but just a horrible feeling. Everything is prepared for child at home and life book is complete and we're very proud of it but something is just jabbing at me to say it won't happen. 2 years of hard work and relying on 10 people to either make or break - not only us but the child as they've not had a great upbringing and we feel as though we could change their life for the better so much. Praying all goes well 🙏

sorry to hear that, you build yourself up so much don't you. Do you know why ?

Adoptingdaddy1 · 25/05/2019 15:25

Yeah, well kind of. We thought we'd done enough our end but apparently there's a few things that need tweaking so it's been postponed a full month which is heartbreaking really. We don't blame anyone but just hard to come to terms with it due to it being so close. 😔

honestly its better than being deferred on the day, I was deferred on approval panel for something the SW should have checked. That was crushing
It will fly by

We've been postponed more than once so I feel your pain OP. Trying to view it as extra time to get house and garden childproofed but it's emotionally exhausting.

Very gracious of you not to blame anyone too! Hope the month goes quickly Smile

Everything is ready and has been for months now, it's really frustrating that now we have to wait an extra month and we know there's nothing we can think of left to do 😔
