Introductions - We have lost track of what the day is

4:45am, alarm goes off. Knowing that there was the light at the end of this tiring tunnel got us motivated to get up. Traffic jams thwarted our plans to get there early again and we took numerous detours to finally get to our destination. It took about 2 hours getting there. Raina was in a really playful mood when we got in. Mummy Ruth (Mama) went first and Mummy Hannah (Mummy) got the second go for some 121 interaction. Nice way to start our day together.  We decided to hop on the train and go home. It does probably seem a bit crazy to have just headed back home and not go out somewhere more local. We hadn't expected to arrive so late and we didn't like the idea of breaking the consistency by Raina not being in our house today, at least for a little while.   She was good on the train and we took a detour with Raina and test drove some buggies, finally settling on one and wheeling it out of the shop ready for action. We put Raina in it and headed home for a while. Later, we headed back to the FC's for the review meeting. Present at the meeting were; Raina; Mummy Ruth, Mummy Hannah, the FC, the FC's link SW, Rainas SW, our own link SW and the family finding SW. Never knew you could squeeze so many SW's into one room!!  We reviewed the introductions on all sides and discussed how the week had progressed from day one until now. Observations of the FC were all positive. Raina was quite playful and cuddly; right on cue, giving Mummy Hannah cuddles and kisses.  We all went around the room and agreed that it was in Rainas best interests to move to our home tomorrow and to become a forever family as soon as possible.  We agreed the next few dates for the SW's to come to visit us and they hugged us both and left. It was a great feeling.  We all went with the FC to collect her daughter from after school club together. We agreed it would be good all around for us to leave (get some rest) and leave Raina to have her last night with her lovely foster family, so we didn't stay to do bath and bed. Tomorrow the emotions will be high, sad, happy, excited, relieved and so many more I am sure.  Raina is only 2; she doesn't realise how many people's lives she has touched.  She is a blessing in our lives and we are two more people to be blessed by her.   Our beautiful little girl is coming home forever. Wow.  X
