Well, we're set to actually meet our Social Worker on Monday afternoon at 2. No idea what this first visit is to contain, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Bought this children's book on a whim the other day. I'm not sure the story is completely appropriate in terms of using it to explain adoption to children, as the story is very much "we wanted a baby and couldn't have one and so we went to a very nice Social Worker who gave you to us, yes the lady who gave birth to you wanted to take care of you, but she didn't have enough money or a job and no one to help her, yadda yadda yadda. . . " see what i mean, it doesn't really work. But the pictures are gorgeous...
... and the story cat's very cute. ;-)
I mean I suppose in a way it could be good for discussion, and besides it's all about how families happen in different kinds of ways which is good. but really, i kind of bought it for me. i have a feeling i'll be buying a lot of children's books, really for me.
