OMG. Last time I posted on here we'd just had our first home visit and since then not much has happened. We went to the very enlightening (not) introductory evening and discovered that social workers are not natural presenters, not in our LA anyway! They were sweet but I'm not sure we learned much in our 2.5 hours.
Anyway. We finally got around to writing our letter to the Head of Adoption confirming our desire to proceed. I mailed this last night thinking they would receive it today, think about and then put us on a waiting list or allocate us to prep. training later in the year - as we'd been told at the introductory evening.
Then we get a phone call, about an hour ago, asking if we can make it to the first session of our prep. training tomorrow evening then a full day next week and a further session the week after. Turns out someone's cancelled because they've become pregnant and our letter obviously hit the spot.
Amazingly, Mr C is very relaxed and cool about it happening so quickly and I'm a total wreck. This is six months earlier than we expected. Scary. I'm panicking a little, thinking we could be a family quicker than we thought...even though it's still likely to be months away, just fewer months that we thought.
Anyway, enough rambling. I'm off for a calming camomile tea and a lie down!
