Well, my cynicism has proved me wrong...again. The invitation has arrived and we're off to the introduction meeting in two days time, Wednesday 12th May.
Ignoring the fact that the letter arrived addressed to Mr Xxxxx and Miss Xxxxxx, everything seems fine. I called the LA to tell them that, although we're not bothered that their addressing is incorrect, I don't want them to be surprised when we turn up and they notice that we're a gay couple and neither of us is a TV/TS! Lots of apologies (second time it's happened) and they're "excited" to meet us on Wednesday.
We're excited, too, and a little nervous. Our 'social worker who never was a social worker' told us that they spend the entire time scaring the crap out of you and that the next step after this is for us to write a letter confirming that we're still happy to proceed...despite everything we've seen and heard. Looking back, we should have known she wasn't going to be a social worker for long and I think we're better off without her.
Let's hope the meeting is interesting, positive and encouraging and I'll post again to share how it went.
