Meeting the Birth Parents

After much tooing and frowing, we have managed to set a date to meet Raina's Birth Parents.  It proved  to be like a military operation getting us, the Birth Parents, Raina's Social Worker and our Link Worker together in the same room at the same time.  But; it has been done and the meeting is about a month away. We made a list of questions and they have been passed onto the Birth Parents.  We have also received a list of questions from them.   Being given this opportunity to meet them feels like it will allow us to get closer to Raina too and understand her even more, which we feel lucky about. However, we are both feeling quite nervous at the propsect of meeting and we really hope that it goes as well as can be expected.

I am running to raise money for New Family Social (NFS) who have been (and continue to be!) a huge source of support, guidance and encouragement throughout this whole process for us both.
