a few profiles

This week we have received three profiles from Bonnie that she picked up at a consortium meeting and we asked for information on one child we saw in BMP. She has requested the full report of the child we found. The other one we are waiting for info on she has not mentioned. Of the other three sent through, 2 look ok but don't 'tug' at me like the BMP child does.

We did have some positive news though. Of all the children we have looked at, we have missed out because they have been placed within their local consortia, and actually, bonnie has been getting some favourable feedback regarding our profile. We did get another profile of a child sent through on the basis of ours, but Bonnie had misgivings and so did we when we saw it. Nothing absolute, just an undefinable feeling that the child was not right for us.

This weekend we are meeting up with Mickey and Minnie for a meal and a catch up, hopefully with Donald and Daisy, another couple from prep group who were approved about 6 weeks before we were and who are already linked. It will be great to catch up on their experience of the post approval/pre-matching process.

Am loving the sun but not the fact that I am not seeing any of it due to my marking workload. Most of it is online so I can't take the computer outside as I can't see the screen. Would be made a more pleasant process had the quality of the work been better, but hey ho - some years you get good students and other years you don't.
