well we have been matched to a baby girl called Amanda she is 7 months old, born on the 26th July 2006. Her mom wants a white family. Looks like we will be fetching her on the 28th on this month wow

Ok so I am sitting here trying not to think about the meeting that is taking/has taken place.

I have sent a mail to the Durban social worker asking if she has heard anything. I will give her 1/2 to respond then I will call Durban Childrens society myself cus I HAVE to know TODAY.! um is there some unspoken rule about this thing out there the last thing I want to do is piss a whole lot of social workers off.

You guys know I will end up driving myself nuts till I hear something. News either way is better than no news.



hmm now to try stay busy

Dear Steffy

This morning I got n email saying that Durban Children’s Society has borrowed our profile from our Durban Social Worker, as they are having a placement meeting today.
So there is a chance that we have a proposal for them. This means that we might be asked if we would like to adopt you.

I am so excited & nerves all at the same time.

I can not believe that you might be with us soon. I hope I do not jinx this placement with all my excitement.

My little one I love you so much already even though I have no idea what you look like.

Take care & find your way to me soon.

Lots of love

Mommy

Hi Tina

I have not yet received Marie Kruger's report but thought I would tell you that Dbn Children's Society have "borrowed" your profile as they have a placement meeting today & may just have a proposal for you. I told them you want another girl but was not sure of the age group you were looking at5. Obviously there are few newborns- mostly the babies are 3-6 mths old.

Will be in touch.

Best regards
Robyn

Robyn is our Durban social Worker

Please keep fingers, toes & all other body parts crossed for me.

Well, who know what has gotten in to me today. All I wat to do is sleep..... Yip I even fell asleep at work.....my job is boring the hell out of me now I know that my contract comes to an end at the end of July & I really can not wait. I told DH that I want to resign sure I sit here all day from 6:30am to 17:15 doing nothing & get paid for it but this is soul destroying. My mind keeps wondering to the adoption & hell there is only so much surfing the net one can do in a day. I feel I would be more productive at home being with my kids..... hell maybe I am just having an off day...

As to the adoption well still nothing, as far as I know the documents have still not gone in. Now I do not want to keep pushing the social worker for the report but I am getting frustrated....as she is holding up the next stage *matching* & according to the place of safety where we chose to get Steffy from there are a few babies ready to be adopted. GRRR

DH has agreed that as soon as we know we have been matched with a baby I can resign....Yippee & since I am on a 6 month contract i only have to give 2 weeks notice.

The best part is that my replacement has already started working for the company so I can teach her everything.

At the end of this month I get a bonus which I intend to spend on stocking up the babies supply of diapers, formular & wet wipes. One can never have to much....

DH was asked last night what it would take for him to leave his current job he said that he was not looking for another job cus he has only just started this on in January 2007. then the guys say but I want to offer you xyz per month well DH's face lit up & he asked so when can we start I only have to give 1 weeks notice. Strange how money talks..... this position will only be available in June which is fine with us the nice thing is he will be working close to home & the money is really GOOD. So keep your fingers crossed this job really happens.

Ok thats all the venting for now..... sorry if I sound like a nutter.
