Galapagos' Blog

Let me introduce myself. My name is Galapagos. I love animals and am interested in natural history...hence my online username!! My hubby and I were approved to adopt a young child towards the end of 2011. We have been linked with a child but are awaiting decisions regarding matching panel etc. At the moment we have very little information to go on but we hope to get more soon. I wanted to write a blog to give an indication of what it is like waiting for a child post approval as the experience is very different from the assessment phase.... no more weekly visits from the social worker and no more assessment driven house cleaning!!
