Decided timing now is<br />perfect. Have a great husband, 2 wonderful sons, own a lovely home, and<br />husband has a great job, i am also very lucky to be able to be a full time mum.<br /><br />: August 2007 Rang Adoption Board. Told next information meeting will not be until<br />November. Total 9 mth wait , told lady yes please keep our names down.<br /><br />: Novem 2007 Attended information meeting. Very interesting but we were both scared to<br />ask questions in case they were silly. We were asked to write a letter saying<br />if we want to go ahead of not. Of course we want to go ahead!!!!<br /><br />: Novem 2007 Next day we hand deliver a letter saying so.<br /><br />: Novem 2007 3 weeks later we receive our 'pack' requesting loads of information.<br />marriage certs, birth certs, employment letter, doctor reports etc etc.<br />Luckily I had a lot of this information ready.<br /><br />: Decem 2007 Two weeks after receiving 'pack' we hand deliver all documents to adoption<br />board. I call them the next day to confirm everything ok.<br /><br />: Jan 2008 Call adoption board see if everything is in order. Told that they have all<br />consultant forms back just waiting on Garda Clearance which take a while<br />as Gardai as so busy. Just have to wait,<br /><br />: April 2008 Yipppeeeeeee!!! Garda Clearances are back. Just have to wait now to<br />hear when we will be called for preparation course. Secretary told me<br />it looks like being the end of 2009!!!??????? Oh my goodness that is<br />so far far away. But what can we do, we just have to wait and keep fingers<br />and toes crossed.<br /><br />: May 2008 Can't believe it. Secretary called preparation courses have speeded up a bit.<br />Says we are now down to attend our course this September 2008 !!! That's<br />much better. Delighted with this news, we are very lucky.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8773768657167639457-876518855778293575?l=ourangelava.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>vickynoreply@blogger.com0
