i've archived the last gut wrenching few posts and am going to assume a more relaxed air of normal family. however normal a family with a 2 year old in it can be. i keep saying that "we are 4 month old parents of a 2 year old!" how 'normal' could that be??
that's not to say that the 'gut wrenching-ness' isn't still happening, but we've just been doing it long enough now to ignore it a bit better. and besides, i love the concept of being able to archive trauma.
also my main reason for stopping in here to update is to let you know that we have now been 'invited' to apply to the courts to make this a LEGAL adoption.
prayer requests on this point are:
1. that our agency's medical advisor doesn't need to go back to my neurologist for an update and will accept the simple overview that my GP has sent him, as waiting on the consultant could REALLY hold things up. (especially since my consultant of 12 years is leaving in June and handing over to someone i've never met before)
2. that said med advisor will get off his bum and decide this QUICKLY (he has been sitting on it for awhile now and has sat on things in the past. he needs to stand up and MOVE more!)
3. that once full and completed application is into the courts, the hearing dates (3 of them) are planned for very soon available dates and there are no hold up's or cancellations (except cancellations that would get us seen quicker)
4. that the renewing of our CRB (criminal records bureau) checks do not hold things up.
do you get the feeling that we're really pretty eager to have this all done and dusted as QUICKLY as possible and to remove ourselves from the constant surveillance of social services et al. and to just get on with day to day family life?
because the day to day family stuff is just great, really.
