Wow Chookie, I am so excited for you!! What a blessing to have your little girl at home & to have her in such a good routine. What state are you in? Are the 4 visits per year part of the adoption "rules"? Does your LO legally become yours now, or in 12 months? I know here in Qld it had just changed such that the child was still the "state's" for the first 12 months and then became legally yours thereafter. Have you had any attachment issues yet? I am remembering all these things we were told while we were on the adoption rollercoaster (as I call it) a couple of years ago. When I read your story this morning it brought tears to my eyes as it is so similar to my story (albeit with a different ending).
Yules pleased to hear you've made it to Jersey & hoping the kids settle into the new timezone in no time. Alyssa is getting better with her food again, though is preferring to have things she can feed herself. This is a little tricky to think of foods, but we are getting there. Custard still wins hands down but I don't want her only having custard.
A big hello to everyone else. Enjoy AUSTRALIA DAY!!! xo
