11 days! - update: question added

edited December 2014 in Adoption
Just got a call from our case worker for our first foster placement. A little boy who is 2 months younger than our son is coming our way in a week and a half. Supposedly his case is being transferred to the adoption unit and they are hoping we want to adopt him. I know this is all a big MAYBE until it happens, but I am so excited to meet him! UPDATE: when the case worker drops him here, what should we do? He's only 2. Should we have our son here to introduce? Or just me and DH for a few hours? I will have a week off of work with him, but I think we should just hang low at home right?

    I will def start reading books and talking to him about it. of course, I have casually and non-specifically been mentioning the idea of a baby to him, and he does understand the concept of 'baby', but this will be a boy his own age. I should have been more careful about my explanation of him becoming a brother, haha.

    He's coming on Monday. 2 days! It's been the longest week ever... His room looks awesome and his closet is stocked. We are ready, kind of.
