2009 - a new year - a new beginning??

Well, it's 2009. This is, hopefully, the year we get our children and become a family! We were at a friend's wedding on New Year's Eve and we shed a few tears of happiness at midnight, excitedly looking at each other and saying this time next year we'll have children! It's an exciting though obviously nerve racking time. we're prepared for hard work, tough times, early mornings, but we're also prepared for good times, laughter, love, fun and cuddles. we long for the day when our kids call us "Mummy" and "Daddy".
Our next visit with Sally, our social worker, in on Tuesday next week. Hopefully, by now she's had most, if not all, of our references back, so things should be well under way. we have another 3 visits in the diary, so that takes us up to mid Feb. We're still hoping to go to panel early summer (where you sit in front of 12 people who read your file and decide whether or not you should be allowed to adopt).
This is going to be such an exciting year! My ex step children, Destini and Camio, and our neices, Jessica, Rhiannon and Abigail are excited about the prospect of us having kids of our own - more little ones for them to play with!
