He cut to the heart of the issue, rather profound.<br />Good look with your second day.

I don't think Mrs C or I felt we could fully relax until the orders were made.<br />However, with Peanut we've had none of that and it seems like an aside and not as significant.<br />Al Coateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364194762953045888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3096204059985406542.post-75762837476188003222013-11-23T09:11:15.407+00:002013-11-23T09:11:15.407+00:00That will be a good way to see in the new year, co...That will be a good way to see in the new year, congratulations. I must admit for us, the court date has never been of much importance, although obviously on the day we went and were very happy to have everything formalised. We always mark the day they came to live with us as our special day.

Our Celebration Day felt a bit strange too, but it was better than the phone call that was all we had to mark the actual court decision, so I'm glad they do it for that bit of closure and sense of occasion.Rebecca Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03323122949121536943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3096204059985406542.post-76324504594827360722013-11-22T18:05:25.093+00:002013-11-22T18:05:25.093+00:00All the best for your celebration day, what a way ...All the best for your celebration day, what a way to start the new year!!
