We've waited seven long years :)

[Lord Nibbo]

In 2000 our youngest son Jonathan got married to Wendy and as young couples do they tried for a family Then four years ago after a lot of heartache they tried three times with IVF, they even appeared on GMTV talking to Lorraine Kelly about the trail and tribulations about IVF. On the third occasion Wendy did get pregnant and everyone in the family was thrilled for them and no one was more happy for them than me Sadly though it wasn't to be for after three months Wendy miscarried

So they started thinking about adoption, it was a little over two years ago they started discussion and numerous meetings. After each meeting it seemed a hurdle had been cleared but many more were to follow. A week ago they got to the final hurdle and found out the adoption panel had given them the all clear to adopt. This week we learned that they are to adopt three little sisters.

I would like to introduce them to you....

Meet Katie, Laura and Natalie

Our new grandchildren :lol: \/ ccasion5:

We won't get to meet them though till after Christmas

Congratulations Grandad! How about that - one day no grandchildren the next 3! I was adopted at 6 weeks and so know a little of the difficulties surrounding adoption. I know that it isn't at all easy to adopt but I think, from the point of view of an adoptee the system is better now than it was 40+ years ago. I really hope that it all works out well both for your son and daughter-in-law and especially for the 3 beautiful little girls - you and Lady Nibbo must be chuffed!

Congratulation Nibbs. We have a family member going through the IVF mill and I know how soul destroying it can be. It is especially awkward seeing as we're just about to become parents.

All the best
