To update you on last year's AIBU?

[BangBangPipple]

I've name changed a lot since then, but this time last year I posted on AIBU about uninviting DBro and SIL for drinks on Christmas day evening.

The jist of it was that DH and I had just found out we could not have children, and DBro and SIL had just found out they were having a baby a couple of months after they had met. SIL was being particularly insensitive about it and said some pretty nasty things that upset me, and I didn't want to spend my Christmas day in tears.

So for those of you who remember, here's the update:
DNiece was born in the summer. She is a beautiful little ray of sunshine and I adore her.
SIL is still not my favourite person but I have put the past behind me and moved on and actually enjoy her company now, and we are building the foundations for a very good and very positive friendship.
DH and I decided to adopt and bring our own baby home in two weeks.

I look back on this time last year and cannot believe how much has changed. I'm about 5 minutes away from being a #feelingblessed wanker

I didn't read your original thread but I love this update! What lovely news. So nice to hear a happy story at Christmas time. Congratulations on your new baby boy! Wishing you so much happiness

Massive congratulations!

I'm an adoptee (I was adopted 50 years and 4 months ago last Tuesday, I consider it my real birthday!). If it wasn't for people like you, I dread to think what my life would have been like. As it was, my parents were the most amazing, loving parents anyone could wish for and I miss them every single day.

Thanks so much for updating us. It's lovely to hear a positive story!

Lovely, lovely update, BangBang and that is going to be one lucky baby!

That's really lovely.

Wow and happy Christmas!!

Congratulations

13 months is definitely a baby in my books. My younger was 2.5 when placed and was still a big baby in a lot of ways.

YANBU! So pleased for you, I hope it all works out and hope you have a very Merry family Christmas with your new family member! x
