Today we had our first follow-up visit with our Adoption Social Worker from Family Adoption Consultants! It went so well, and it was a memorable part of Luke's adoption journey, and mine. We scheduled the appointment for 3:00, right after the baby's nap. Sandy was so excited to meet Luke, and I was just as excited! We talked about doctors appointments, as well as the nuts and bolts of our 2 weeks back home in the States. Luke was having a nice afternoon, and more than accommodating to having a new person in the house, and in his routine.
I want to mention, Sandy told me that friends and family have obviously been quite generous in welcoming this new baby into our lives, because Luke is surrounded with such wonderful toys and gifts. I told her that our friends and family have, indeed, been quite generous.
Most importantly, I want Luke to know something special... this lovely lady, who has visited our family from the beginning of Mommy's adoption journey, told me that she sees so many children who have been in their new homes, with their new families, for just a short period of time... just like Luke. She told me that she already knows, very early, that Luke is happy, safe, comfortable, and very much at home within our new family. We are all together now, and there are so many people that see strong relationships within our home. Luke and Grandma and Mommy love each other very much, and all is well. Love to all, and thank you to dear friends and family!
