Been nearly ten days since open evening - we sent back our 'still interested' form the next day and have had a letter with more handouts telling us we will be contacted in a few weeks to arrange an interview.
Meanwhile we've lined up all possible references and the family so they are prepared and ready to make any appointments. However slow this goes we don't want it to drag because our side wasn't available.
So now it's about a week since the letter and already the waiting is painful mostly because we know we can't speed along even if phoned everyday and generally made a nuisance of ourselves.
Now our friends and family know their initial reaction is interesting. The more some tell me not to give up hope for one of our own or it's early days could still happen if now focused on something else , the more convinced I am that we are doing the right thing - this isn't some poor substitute for a M/C gene pool, this or these adopted children are because we totally want to be able to share our life with a little person who would have less chance without us. We don't need to introduce another new life into the world, there are so many lost little souls who I am convinced with our patience and energy we'll be able to give them some hope, stability and love that will mean they aren't any longer held back by their start and instead can be whatever they like in the future.
