Can't believe I am actually writing this but tomorrow we have our first meeting with our gorgeous two year old son xx
First we are having a meeting to plan how we are going to do the introductions and then we will meet him for the first time straight after. I think we will spend around half an hour with him for the first day and then gradually build up over the next week to 10 days, before he moves home with us
Not too sure how I feel really, I am excited, but it still feels totally surreal too, its really hard to get my head round it!!
My first day off on my adoption leave today to, I am going to face the ironing mountain, and watch some rubbish tv to pass the time
PS....just had a thought!...that's really spooky
Friends of ours from our prep course are meeting their Son for the first time tomorrow too and he is also 2 (2 & 1/2).
How lovely Enjoy every minute of meeting your son, such a magical moment that you will remember forever
If you think its surreal now wait til you've got him home It all feels weird, lovely, but weird. I remember pinching myself daily, thinking how could I possibly be that lucky!
So excited for you! Hope it goes brilliantly tomorrow!
Surreal is how I describe it too, when I think of meeting our son in July I get so emotional! Lovely feeling! But still don't consider it real either!!
Its just so a magical moment and one you will hold very close to your heart........
Our Dd often asks what it was like when we first met her....I say.just magical and then she says..yeah but tell me more....its the telling more thats the magical bit for me..like describing where they were when you first spotted them, what they were wearing, what they smelt like.........baby talc.......what they did...smile,hug,cry.........our DD smiled..she was 9 months old..........our DS hugged us and said hello Mummy hello daddy....melted our hearts....he was nearly 4 when placed with us. Its the remembering things like little details.......the colour of their socks.......things which are just so normal things for some people but for us meeting our families for the first time is magical and the memories never ever fade of the first day you meet!
Enjoy...............intros are hard work......BUT so worth it!
We have been the pub for our tea, and are now home with our pjs on gonna watch meet the little fockers in a mo!
The strangest feelings, excitement, nervous allsorts - but absolutely cant wait, to meet 'our' gorgeous boy
Will report back tomorrow! this is what its all about isnt it, why we are all here, honestly never thought this day would come, never give up ladies, we can be mummy xxxx
I am a Wendy too. I am so excited for you. My husband and I are going through adoption and have our first initial visit at home tomorrow. So at the different end of the scale to you. Hope it goes really well...........
I can't wait to here all about him Wendy. Slight delay in first meeting our little Pickle but in only just over three weeks we will be in the same boat as you. Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!
How exciting !! You deserve this day sooo much what an amazing feeling it must be!!!
