Its Official....

Just received our Notification letter confirming we are official Adopters and our approval at panel has been ratified. Reading the letter felt like I had won the lottery , I just welled up light at the end of the tunnel. I am so happy my dream is coming through. We have been approved to adopt up to 2 siblings.

What I can say is any doubts I had about adopting vanished after reading the blogs listed in the ones I follow. These blogs demonstrate how powerful a mothers love can be. I just hope when my time comes I can be a successful a parent as you guys . "Thank You"

I will keep you posted on my journey in finding our family...ie find a child or children.

I am going to open the bottle of champagne to celebrate

Goodbye Embryo And Welcome Child/Children To Be

I am not sure if anyone is reading this blog but I (well me and DH) decided at the end of 2007 not to pursue another go at IVF because we couldn't go through the heartache if it wasn't successful.


So after loads of deliberating we decided to change route and move onto adoption. Since my last blog in November 2007 we have been down the adoption approval route but didn't blog. Anyway we have been approved just waiting for our approval to be ratified.


I have been clearing out the spare room and came across this scribble I wrote December 2007. In reading it it brought tears to be eyes and I thought I need to capture this.

"Goodbye To My Embryo's

The purpose of this short missive is to say Goodbye Embryo's to my Embryos that didn't implant.


Joshua and Olivia you were created on the 13th Feb 2000 and both were 4 cells when put back. Goodbye to the potential twins I didn't have, it wasn't to be.


Sebastian, Bianca and Isabella created on the 13th Sept you were my 6 and 8 cells who were replaced. Goodbye my triplets who also didn't make it. Once again it wasn't meant to me"


Typing this as a posting has been therapeutic and I feel closed a chapter in my life for the start a new one.

"Welcome to my adoptive child or children to be"
