Matching Panel says yes!

The last hurdle has been cleared...

After what has been reported to us as a 'gruelling' panel - with our social worker and the boys' social worker being given a 'grilling' - the panel has recommended the match between us and our three boys: McGrew, Cuthbert and Dibble.

So full steam ahead!
We meet them in two weeks.
But before that, a well-earned holiday!
And some champagne tonight!

hooray hooray hooray hooray hooray!!!! much celebration on this side of the world! I've been refreshing facebook all night to see if there was any news, and then I came on here to show mum the bedrooms and there it was! so so thrilled for you, and a little emotional as well. Still, I can go to bed now contented and excited about being Auntie Lynne!
Much love to you both x x x x
PS. This is the first night that your comments page has opened over here. Coincidence? I think not!

Hi there

I have been away in Canada for two weeks, working full time for three weeks, leading a holiday club, trying to sell a house and moving city in 4 days time. In other words, I didn't know your news or I would have left a comment earlier.
I don't really know you IRL (apart from that Christmas welcome!) but as I read this back from 30 June I sense such a rightness about all of this and I began to pray for you and your three boys; even to the point of their future and destiny with you guys as their parents.

I promise to support you in any way I can. Contact me if you want (I'm moving less than 2 hours away from you I think?) It's going to be hard work but the rewards are immense. You ARE transforming their lives.......
Bless you both
Lynn xx
