[pumpupthevolume]

Hiya

Just cannot contain myself and need to announce to the world! We've been trying for a family for over eight years, and FINALLY we will be meeting our lovely daughter (13 months old) tomorrow!!!!

Hooray!!!

I will finally be a mummy!

How lovely! Congratulations!

Millions of tonnes of love and luck for you xxxx

(as an adopted daughter )

I'm so pleased you and your DH, have a lovely life together!

Congratulations!!!!!!

Congratulations. How exciting! The start of your family life ...

Ahh how exciting! What a lovely age too, she will be gorgeous and squidgy!
I dont understand how these things work-how long will it be until she lives with you?
Well done mummy x

Fantastic. I hope it all goes well and you are all very happy together.

Don't worry if it takes a while for your new DD to get used to you. DD was 14 months when we first met her and she was very clingy to her foster mum for the first 4 days but she is very well attached now.

How exciting! Congratulations and good luck!

Congratulations !

Congratulations to you all.

Thank you all for your lovely messages - I am an emotional wreck at the moment...

We have a week of introductions (four days at foster carers' home, then three days at our home) then we bring her home next Tuesday! It feels totally unreal, and I swing between being ecstatic, to worrying about if she'll like us, if we'll like her (I know we will, I think this is probably normal to worry!).

And then I will be using MN to ask for advice instead of lurking and longing for the day when I can ask for advice about pooey nappies and fruitshoots!

so pleased for you, congratulations and good luck

That's wonderful! Congratulations!

Congratulations! I'm really glad for you. Good luck, though I'm sure you won't need it

Congratulations from another adopted daughter

My mum wrote a diary for me from which included the phone call that told them they had a baby girl which I read again recently . It also included when they went to pick me up on my first day as 'their's'.
She was so excited it was contagious.

Enjoy meeting your daughter!

I'm so excited for you! Congratulations!

Fantastic news, congratulations on your becoming a mother!

Congratulations

Oh, congratulations!

Fantastic! Congratulations

Wonderful news. As a social worker in child protection it is so lovely to hear the "other side" - adoptive parents joy and excitement. Enjoy every minute x

How exciting! I bet you won't sleep a wink tonight, you'll be that excited and nervous.

That is fantastic! Congratulations to you and your dp, you will love being a mum! Much love and luck to you and your baby girl

How lovely! I wish you all such a happy life together, how perfect!

How lovely for you. I remember how I felt the morning we were due to meet our DD for the first time. Don't worry if she clings to her foster carers at first - perfectly normal for an eight month old. I wish you all the luck and happiness in the world.
