I was on the bus heading home thinking about what comments I would right in this blog about the fact that nothing seemed to be happening. On Friday, I had to contact Croydon again because our social worker still hadn't been allocated and that was 3 weeks from the date of the letter we recieved and not the 2 weeks that it stated on the letter. They informed me that we had in fact been allocated but she was actually off sick at the moment and that's why she hadn't been in contact. So along comes Tuesday and still no contact.
I was beginning to stew and then of course the phone rings.
As first impressions go, the social worker seems quite nice. We had a bit of a chat to set a date for our initial visit so we can discuss what sort of child we are interested in adopting and what we have to offer a child. If the social worker and the Adoption Team considers that on the basis of the information given we would be able to offer a Croydon child an adoptive home you will be asked to complete a formal application form afterwhich the assessment process will begin.
So meeting is on Thursday 28th April. I can't wait, fingers crossed.
