we have been matched with our little boy and are meeting him today. Grin
We have waited for this for years. I can't wait. I have been up since 0530 as I couldn't sleep. Feel really, really excited, nervous and anxious. The first meeitng will be a short intro. He is just over a year old so still young. Smile

I pray it all goes well. Grin

Oh how wonderfulGrin

This really is the first day of the rest of your livesSmile

I hope it all goes very well for you and him.

As a foster carer I both dread and look forward to this first meeting.

Dread: because it means I have to begin to let goSad

Forward: because this day will make a family very very happySmile

EarthMotherImNot you must be very strong, the world is a better place for incredible people like you. I'd be useless, a complete wuss and yet you have the strength to think of the happy families you are helping to bring together.

DurhamDurham, thank you. Focussing on the adoptive family is often what gets me through the process, I'd be a wuss too otherwiseBlush

Enjoy every second.

Are you allowed to take something and leave it with him? A teddy or a blanket?

How wonderful. I have to tell you that our daughter joined us six weeks ago and is the best baby in the world, so sadly your new son won't win that accolade Grin. But I'm sure he will blow you away. Let us know how it goes, won't you?
