Hey Ladies sorry had a MENTAL day at work, Ive literally just sat down!
Im glad you guys dont mine me rambling on.
So we had our first meeting ( initial visit ) the social worker came round and grilled us for 3 hours ( in a nice way ) about from our first memory to us sitting on the sofa, It was really relaxed and we had a great laugh with it.
We had to wait a month ( usually its only two weeks ) to find out if we passed the first report... Which we did! YAY!
We've been booked onto our first lot of training days on Thursday and Friday next week.
The 2nd day is for foster to adopt, which is what i think we will be going for, It means that instead of the Child being placed into a short term foster they are placed straight to you until the adoption order comes through.
Its less stress for the little one and also you get more time with them.
But it doesn't come without its hard parts,
You have to have contact with the birth parents( if they are around ) and there is a slight chance that the child could go back to their family, however we have been told that they make sure thats a very very low percentage.
So from Thursday were officially in stage one which lasts 8 week. Its mainly References and medicals.
The second stage is the hard one
Weekly visits from social workers picking apart every bit of your life and writing a huge report on you.
Im actually shitting my pants haha!
Ill keep you in the loop as we go along.
But I think for the moment its slow and boring until we get into stage two x
