We decided to book ourselves on a last-minute city break and spent the last 5 days freezing our pants off in Denmark. Glen likes Scandinavian countries and we’d never been, so we figured this was a good time to go (good as in before we have a child placed with us - hopefully – not that we think January is a particularly good time to go to a cold country).
We managed to switch off from work, jobs around the house that still need doing, paperwork... it was great. We had a chance to be just us, by ourselves, and also to talk. We both feel that we really want to proceed and really hope the match with Boy H goes ahead. We’re as sure as one can be that you want to take on a child that you’ve never met!
It was quite weird not to know if that was our last holiday without kids for years to come, though... mind you, if we have a child placed we'll never be able to afford short city breaks ever again, so it doesn't really matter, I guess.

Hi, just wanted to say that, even though we're just beginning the process you've clearly been living through for many months, my partner and I have found your blog really heplful, engaging, humorous and humbling...all at the same time!
We're also based in the Midlands, my partner is Italian, I'm English. It's been a rollercoaster few weeks just deciding whether to proceed but now we've made that decision we're absolutely committed to the end goal - welcome a child into our lives.
You've helped to make that decision more informed and less daunting - thanks!
Thank you for your comments. I'm glad if it's been of help. That was the idea behind writing this blog! Lots of luck with your process and let me know how you get on.
All the best
Fernando
