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'm really pleased for you OP! Congratulations and have a wonderful Christmas!

Oh i love this! So nice to read something lovely. Huge congrats OP and really pleased you are all moving forward.

You must be so excited! Do update us when your baby arrives :) have a very merry christmas - sounds like it's definitely going to be a happy new year for you and DH x

DH and I decided to adopt and bring our own baby home in two weeks

Congratulations!

Very Exciting about the Adoption Plans.
I know Adoption can be a roller-coaster, but so is creating biological offspring (as well you know).

X fingers it goes well for you. Keep posting.

Aaahhhhh, that'a lovely.
I'm not crying, I'm chopping onions. Invisible onions.

What a lovely update. I'm so happy for all of you.

I remember your thread. It was a tricky one wasn't it. I'm glad you've all moved on. Time is a massive help with these things. Hopefully your neice and your DC will be good friends.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

He will still be your baby at 25! Mine is! You are his mum - happy Christmas

Oh I’m so pleased & excited for you!

Put him in a onesie & he can be your baby for a long, long time! 😊

Please update the thread when you have him home.

If you think things have changed a lot this past year, just imagine his you’ll feel this time next year 😂

Aww how lovely! Congratulations OP! He will be your baby for a long time yet no matter what age. My DH was adopted when he was 4. His mum was still calling him a baby then

Happy happy happy! What a lovely post, congratulations and thank you for sharing

Congratulations - adoption can be so healing, and I hope the cousins have a wonderful relationship growing up.
For those asking national guidelines now say 6 months start to finish for adoption training, then pot luck on how long it takes to find your child

13m is definitely a baby. Congratulations!

I'm not crying, you are ..... 😭😭😭

How bloody wonderful! Bet you can't wait to get Christmas out of the way and bring your baby home. Imagine what happiness the next year will bring you xxx

So delighted for you.
How very lucky for the beautiful child you are taking home that they will have such great parents.
I wish you all the luck in the world.

Congratulations on becoming a mummy!
