Just back from the adoption panel - so excited!
We went in early, and were introduced to the 12 people round the table - a mix of legal advisors, medical advisors, adoptive parents, social workers from other agencies...
They made us feel really at ease, and then some of the panel members asked us questions they'd prepared in advance, having read our report.
There were questions on church and our busy-ness, about why we were thinking of up to three children, about how we and our church would value diversity, and about our resilience as a couple.
We left for them to deliberate, and within a couple of minutes, the chair person had come out to tell us that they'd said yes.
So we'll be approved to adopt up to three children - which is just as well, considering!
Next stop is the matching panel on 30th July... and before that, loads to do, loads to buy, and lots of effort needed to stop Mrs D spending all our money in Mothercare and ELC!
