Popular Post GrumbleDook Posted July 10, 2012 Popular Post Posted July 10, 2012 After a busy few months and not having a lot of time to spend on larger projects outside of the day job it is now going to get even busier ... but I am happy with that. Some folk will have already seen on my FaceBook status that today was a big day. My wife and I have been to an adoption panel to be matched with a lovely little 2 1/2 year old girl. There is still a bit of a hoop to go through with the official 'Decision Maker' going through it and signing it off, so we are not home and dry yet, but we are now safe enough to let people know. It also means that she will be with us in August. As it is an adoption we will not be posting lots of pics online but will find some way to share with friends. I do have to give a big thanks to @Dos_Box, @ZeroHour and @russdev for their friendly, family advice and a bigger thanks to @garethedmondson. This has been 3 years to get here and these folks have kept me sane at times ... well ... as sane as I ever will be ;-) 32
EduTech Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 As I said on Facebook mate Excellent News! So pleased for you both!.. Fingers Crossed for the next hoop! ^James. 1

bossman Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 @GrumbleDook: It will be a very happy time for you and your wife and I think that I can speak for most if not all the edugeeker's that we will be the happiest anties and uncles on the planet. I know from friends of mine how difficult and long drawnout the process is and with this in mind I wish you and your wife all the best for the coming events ahead Good luck my friend to both of you 1
elsiegee40 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 That is excellent news @GrumbleDook ; I hope the final hurdles are not to arduous 1

SYNACK Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Congratulations, hope the final steps go through without an issue. 1
speckytecky Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 A couple we know have been through the process and are now a very happy family with an absolute delight of a little chap they adopted. He is a lucky little fellow as they too bring something special to being parents. The very best to you both. 1
sparkeh Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Awesome, I have nothing but admiration . Good luck with the final hurdle. 1
synaesthesia Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Brilliant, that's wonderful news! Hope all goes well for the last step. By the looks you've got plenty of support etc but if you need any more you know where we are! 1
GrumbleDook Posted July 11, 2012 Author Posted July 11, 2012 Thank god you won't have time anymore for the full half-hour arguements Si hmmm ... some things you just *have* to make time for ;-)
Gatt Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Congrats to you both!! Aplogies though for not saying on FB but we were otherwise occupied in trying to find out about how long the dreaded Chickenpox lasts! (Son came down with them on Sunday and we are supposed to be flying to Majorca on Monday 16th! ) 1
Domino Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Does that mean you're not adopting James anymore? Conga-rats to you both! 1
GrumbleDook Posted July 11, 2012 Author Posted July 11, 2012 Does that mean you're not adopting James anymore? Conga-rats to you both! I didn't want him to get caught up in a custody fight between us so was happy to leave him with you. I did have to explain to my wife last night about the phrases 'grooving rodents', 'dancing rodentia' and 'hippy hippy shake shake vermin' ... that picture say it all
EduTech Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Does that mean you're not adopting James anymore? James as in me! ;-) I wouldn't have said no to been adopted by Tony hehe! 1
garethEds Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Late to the list here - but I was going to DM you last night. Will do so now. A public congratulations to you both. I know exactly what you have been through and the light at the end of the tunnel get's brighter and brighter with every day that passes. DM on the way. Gareth 1
john Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 As echo'd on FB yesterday, congrats to you both you will be amazing parents, I am sure your little one will have an iPod or iPhone as soon as its able to master the controls with an appropriate range of tunez from Queen to The Dead and Buried 1
broc Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 I have a couple of family members who were fortunate enough to adopt children & I saw the joy it brought; may it do the same for your family too. Congratulations Tony. I am sure you will be wonderful parents & make a little girl very happy. 1
