Homecoming...

Oh my goodness gracious me...there are no words to adequately describe the enormous joy, incredulity and wonder of the last ten days. Meeting LO for the first time, I had expected to cry from the depths of my soul (with attempts to rein it in for his sake of course!) but instead I felt calm and centred, a magical feeling of 'there you are'. He is our son, and just as we dreamt him. So many evenings, driving back from the foster carers', we have looked at one another in wonder. We couldn't love him any more than we do. We couldn't have visioned a more perfect and incredible being to bring into our lives. He's amazing. He laughs from his belly, his eyes light up when we come in the room, he loves being tickled, he loves wriggling and leaping about in supportive arms, he loves crinkly crackly toys, he loves his milk and snuggling up...

It is so like falling in love. Last night, after we'd dropped him off at his foster carers' house for his 'goodbye evening' with them, we came back and sniffed the blankets he'd lain on!

In a few hours, we go to pick him up and bring him home. We are bringing our little boy home.

Oh wow - I started reading your blog with this post (after seeing it mentioned on LFCA), then commented on the next one down. Enjoyed reading so I have now just read chronologically from 2011 onwards right through to rereading this post. What an emotional journey it has been. What a nightmare all of the hoop jumping and timing setbacks inflicted by that new SW :-(
I can't wait to hear who life is when you bring him to your wonderful home. I wonder how long before you can rip down the stupid fencing and peel off the sticky plastic from your windows!!!!
Sending you blessings from Aotearoa, New Zealand.
