OASIS Seminar

Spent the day at the OASIS Seminar today and it was great. The speaker was excellent, she spoke both as a professional and as an adoptive parent (or a parent who's child joined the family through adoption) with great enthusiasm and humour. Much of what she said can be applied to Little Prince and helped me see some of his behaviours in a different context and hopefully I can now respond more as he needs me to. And of course all the valuable advice will be very useful if we ever get a referral from China for MeiMei.

And the highlight of the day was seeing all the new mum's and dad's and the baby photos (they are SOOOOO CUTE) and the almost new mum - referral should be in the next batch :-) It was very exciting listening to their travel plans - and wondering if we'll ever reach that stage. It was great to be able to put names to faces I've seen posting on the various UK groups too, people seem much more real once you know what they look like :-)

Not sure what happened at home while I was away, but I keep finding Little Prince's toys in some very strange places!!! He's already said he wants mummy or Little Miss Sensible to go and get him out of bed when he wakes up - I think he missed me :-)
