After a very different experience attending an Adoption Panel, they took a blink of an eye to agree to my wish to adopt a Special Needs child from Thailand. My SW said that I charmed them. I was calm and coherent and despite my nerves it wasn't an unpleasant experience!! Phew.
To celebrate I went shopping! I bought Alice a 'pincess' outfit and Little Sis a photo album that can have a voice recording with it - hopefully to send in a care package after referral. It's the beginning of the next paperchase - extra documents for Thailand, but we're a huge step closer and I'm very relieved!

Absolutely fantastic news :-)
I think I know exactly the photo album you mean, and I'm hoping to be able to take mine over to Ethiopia some time soon :-)
Big big hugs

Fabulous news. And well worth a congratulatory shop.
Relax this weekend and start the paperwork collection next week.
Then we'll all tell you that having 2 is more work than you ever imagined - and not just 1 + 1 !
Many many congratulations to both of you - the pink princess on nursery and yourself on panel - what a day! Vicky
Congratulations!! That's wonderful news!
