We have completed our first interviews and they went well. We talked to the social worker separately about growing up, our families and our lives together. We felt exhausted after Monday, but after resting yesterday, we felt much more awake today! We both felt the interviews were positive, and we chatted easily with our social worker. She asked a range of questions to clarify what we had written, but nothing was too tricky.
We are planning to have a day to ourselves tomorrow, to relax and not think about adoption all day! It is very hard to switch your brain off, and not to mull over the issues we are discussing, decisions we need to make and imagining what will go wrong! We didn't realise how emotionally tiring this would be, but we still trust and know that we are making steps in the right direction after waiting so long.
Thanks so much for the supportive words and prayers. We really do value each one! Be in touch Friday,
