Everything crossed please

[mumtosome]

Very excited here. We were approved in JUly this year and so far haven't had a placement. This is down to us going for long term/permanent and the restricitons regarding matching due to my son's age and his own disabilities.

However just before Christmas our SW phoned to talk to us about a little one who sounds like he would just fit right in with our family. If we had a wish list, this little one would fill every wish. Both our SW and LO's SW agree that it's a perfect match.

Please kepp everything crossed for us as it's still early days and could still go pear shaped. A very excited but nervous household here :)

Merry Christmas Everyone xx

Thanks Squidgy.....still no word but being positive and getting ready anyway. Haven't had a call to say it's not going aheads so that's good. In laws have been using the room that will be the wee one's, so today double bed is going (need to gumtree it) and single going in. Need to have a look for nice wardrobe/ drawers. Can feel and ikea trip coming on :) xx

My fingers are very tightly crossed for you xx :)

you know Mumtosome we reallt should schedule that coffee soon!!!

Enjoy Ikea x

can anyone really enjoy ikea??? although, under the exciting circumstances I think even I'd cope going!!

crossed fingers here x

Crossed fingers here too, he'll be a very lucky little one,good luck!

Squidy that's a great idea !! How're things with you?

And I love going to Ikea. Great excuse to have meatballs and chips followed by Daim bar cake :) x

Still no news. If nothing by tomo afternoon I will give SW a ring. A bit worried his other half has gone into labour (due very soon) and he is actually off!!

I have everything crossed for you but just wanted to add a note of caution - I've lost count of the number of children who've been "on their way" to me, without actually arriving. I wasn't notified of changes of plans for any of them. Maybe hold fire on selling your bed until they arrive? Unless you want rid of it already.

I have a love/hate relationship with IKEA. Hate the store but love the restaurant - it's the most kid friendly eating place near me and the kids love the play area so I get to drink a cup of tea while its still hot!

Hope the LOs arrived now and my note of caution isn't needed.

Hi,

This will be a ver planned move if it does go ahead. Very aware that it could go pear shaped at any point. The bed needs to go anyway so that's not a problem :)

Meant to say thanks for the advice though :)

I put down for emergency placement hence got some children when approved in July otherwise the children they are bringing up are nothing like the form F or what we discussed...
Best of luck it goes through..Just remember keep on top of the paperwork from day one.

Hi mumtosome - still have everything crossed! Do you have an update??

Still waiting.....still nervous. Good news is though that another couple were also interested in fostering this little one and SW has said that we are a better match and have requested our complete information........hope to hear this week

Let us know when you hear something....fingers still crossed...!

OH That all sounds very promising :) Fingers tightly crossed.

(Things haven't been going well since boxing day with our little one and I have a back injury so all in all a bit down round here but hanging in there :) thanks for asking :) )

Still no news...........it does mean they haven't ruled us out I supose.....hopeful for next week :)
