Hi
for those who have been praying for us and have followed our situation I thought I would do a little follow up - the little boy as you know was placed back with us in foster care just over a week ago, things have gone great he has settled really well and for a 3 year old to say 'me no go home' just breaks your heart.
Well we had a meeting with his Socail Worker this week who as basically asked us would we be willing to adopt him. We of course have said yes we would love too, so now the ball starts rolling. We love this littly with all our hearts and our 2 grown children 19 & 22 love him so we are hoping things go smoothly. I have to say I am so tired with all this emotion going on but hopefully things will settle down once we get into a routine. He was used to going to bed when he wanted or where he wanted which could mean early hours bedtime, we are managing to get him settled by about 8.30, but its a work in progress.
Please continue your prayers, although this journey could possibly be quite quick, they think he could legally be ours by Christmas because he was already on a full care order, christmas feels such a long way away.
On another note I cant wait to show him Disney and get him addicted, I have just finished making a Cars quilt for him so we are starting the right way, and he needed lots of new clothes and let me tell you I just had to get a couple disney tshirts ...
poor child...lol
