...YES! 

Yesterday was spent pretty much in tears the whole day. The actual whole day. I went to the office in the morning to be handed a letter confirming I've been deemed 'favorable' to be matched with this Tiny Human. This doesn't mean he's mine yet, as far as I understand, which has proven as challenging as the lead up to this monumental occasion. I have a piece of paper, given to me in the reception of the office with a casual 'just sign here' and 'here's what's next', whilst I bawled my brains out and tried to utter words in any language, that says I'm allowed to proceed to the next stage. What that stage might be is still a bit blurry...

I think, I think, that I will go to observe him in his home over the next 10 working days. This will be the time for all the big questions, reviewing his file and seeing him maybe more than once. Then after that, again, from what I've understood, I then submit the letter to request to adopt him. From there, I've literally no idea. I'm orbiting the solar system at the moment, whilst trying to figure out what it is I've actually to do next and not getting very far and trying really hard not to get my hopes right up there that this is my baby just in case anything goes wrong...but...but...I think I've found my boy. There aren't words to describe this feeling so I'm not even going to try but suffice to say, my heart is bursting. 

More soon...
