Matching Meeting

Monkey&McMoo June 17, 2019 13:32

Afternoon lovely people.

i got an email this morning asking if we could do a “matching meeting” today at five.

We said yes but I’m now in panic mode!

What will be asked?

What will they want to see?

Is this the right time to ask our questions (I have a long list about child’s health/ parents health / siblings etc etc)

Thanks

I’m not quite sure what a matching meeting is these days - but it would definitely be the right time to ask any questions you may have - the sooner you ask the better. Also be prepared for them to ask anything they may want to know about you even if it’s something you think they should know already as they might just want to check it out - hear it from you directly. Also they will probably want a quick look round the house to have some idea of the possible home and to know about the local area. Just try and relax and be as calm and natural as possible (a big ask I know) - a really exciting time for you all!

Now home from work, frantically hovered the stairs, and about to jump in the shower.

Do I need to empty the “child’s” room. It’s got the ironing board and ironing in it atm?

Social worker for the little one arrives in just over an hour.

i also want to read through our list of questions before she arrives.

Still feeling slightly crazy!

I wouldn’t worry about clearing room - they’ll get some idea from a quick look as long as reasonably tidy - better to be relaxed and familiar with questions! Good luck!
