Thanks jade,took me a while but was fun.
Hope your all well,xx
yes we are all good thanks my boys had a good x mas but it just didnt feel like x mas
waitting for af to show her face as am 2 day late not gettin my hopes up though heres no point
Thankx Laura there were 22 of us in total,have got some other pics but they od the tables all set up for everyone,there were 2 tables of 6 in the living room for the adults and chan and then there were 2 tables one of 4 and one of 5 in the dining room for the kids.
Was a fab day ad for the 1st time in yr's there was no arguements(usualy had every yr without fail)so a good one at least.
Jade fingers crossed for you,hope it goes ok for you.
Ginger-wookey(soz have 4got ur name) i like the new tikker pic,is that ur scan pic.
It was nice in the sense that both my sisters made the effort to turn up and not complain but it was rather noisy for a good few hr's.
My middle sis bless her made a book to say thank you to my mum for such a wonderful day it was and the best xmas as the family were a whole,with chan being bk there and all,we all wrote a little message in it of thanxs and what choked my mum most was chelsea's bit, she wrote how happy she felt to be able to call my mum an dad, mum and dad(she was a run away and wouldnt settle)and to say she had a lovely home and people to call her family,bless she actually fit in with us all tho.She's been with them for over a yr now so she's family none the less.
Yes, that's my scan pic, I can't believe how clear it is.
Just have to stop floating now and get on with the practical stuff....
That's really lovely about Chelsea. My next brother up is a foster brother (for all the difference it makes!). I think that people who haven't been involved in fostering sometimes don't realise how much of a difference it can make to kid's lives - I have the greatest respect for those families that open their homes. Do your parents foster many?
(It's Cat btw but don't worry if you forget - I have also forgotten your name!)
Thats a fantastic pic,mine was never that clear till my 20wk scan.(emma btw.lol)
My mum and dad dont foster many,it started with my niece chan,my brother who was only 16 when she was born and her mum couldnt really be bothered but older,we knew social services were involved and they stood a chance of loosing her so me and adi took her on at 4wk but official at 8wks by social services,we were only ment to have her for 3mths while they got my brothers case sorted but it turned into several mths,by feb of this yr my mum and brother agreed my mum would take legal custody of her and thankfuly she got it so she's back with them. Chelsea is my little sis school friend,she was put with in her nans care from a baby as they said her mum was not coping,as she got older and passed from her nan,mum and dad she got fed up with it and done a bunk.My sister asked my mum is she could stay the night and well she never went bk,long story with it but thats the gist of it.
People that foster do do an amazing job even if its temp foster care over night stuff. Chan still calls me mum at times and no one correct's her as thats all she has known,plus with riley always calling me it's hard to say no and correct her.
Emma Riley looks like your little brother! Nice to have a big family !
