Olivia, this is your Grandma...

My Mum and her partner Chas arrived in DK on Tuesday and brought some Australian sun with them!


Olivia experienced some of Grandma's influence trying some non-dairy rice milk... which she enjoyed!


We played with the ball in the backyard which gave Grandma and Olivia a chance to have a game together... Olivia was very interested and happy.
 
 We made a trip to Kolding so the grandparents could compare notes...


Two proud Grandmothers...


While Olivia is bonding with us - and getting to know what it means to have a Mum and Dad - it is really important that she is not confused by emotional contact to others. This makes the role of grandparent in the first months of the adoption process perhaps one of the most unnatural situations one can experience. After a long wait, they must wait even longer to have that cuddle and closeness that is bursting to come out.

Olivia is lucky both to have three "sets" of grandparents but also that they have been so understanding.
