Growing up I never really celebrated Father’s Day because my birth dad was never really around. Today was probably the
As I sit here, writing this blog post on a Monday evening and after having a great day. Knowing that this time next Monday I would have just got in from work after finishing my first day back to work after 5 weeks is pretty shit.
As we sit here 4 days in, officially parents we’ve just stuffed a Domino’s down our throat and Pudding is fast asleep, let’s tell you how the last 4 weeks have been.
As we’re full stream ahead with meeting Pudding we thought it would be a good idea to give more information on how these meetings work and for how long. So here goes……
Day One of meeting Pudding couldn’t have gone better than it did. It was an amazing afternoon that Darran and I have been waiting over a year for. We got to meet OUR SON!
So it’s 12:50pm and I’ve just finished prancing around the house in my pants. I have tidied the house ( well Tim did) and I’ve done my hair (for those that don’t know my hair is ringlet curly and I straighten it to look “normal”). I get dressed as greeting the SW in my pants isn’t a good start.
Darran, as usual, wasn’t ready at all which meant him leaving the house with curly hair (shock). We were asked to arrive promptly at 9.30 but arrive at 9.33. I’m panicking (I hate being late) but as we drive up to the place we see other adopters we know strolling down the road which made me chill! We walk to the entrance and give our names to a social worker which was a man – never see one of these before
He was a Daddy to two beautiful children, a brother to 3 amazing siblings and had a huge network of friends and family who all said goodbye! When we say “What A Week” this has been, we honestly mean its been FULL ON! In the space of 5 days, we have driven from Essex to Wales to Newcastle then onto Scarborough… Yes you are reading right, we have done all sides of the UK. So I suppose I should start with last Friday.
On Saturday, September 29th 2018 we attended a Profiling Event in London at Barnardos. We went to this not knowing what to expect but knowing that we will be looking at many children’s profiles that are needing a ‘Forever Home’.
