A date for the second opinion interview

Miranda rang earlier today. She and her colleague, who will be doing the second opinion interview, will come on the 19th. The plan is for Miranda to send us our home study report next Friday so we can read it over the weekend and feed back to her when they come to do the second opinion visit on Monday. Her colleague will then write her report on Monday evening or Tuesday morning so that it’s all ready. One possible delay could be that once the report is finished and before it goes to the panel members it has to be read by Miranda’s supervisor. If she has any requests for major changes or wants further evidence of anything then it probably won’t be done in time for us to go to panel in February. It all feels a bit rushed and we hope that doesn’t have a negative effect on the outcome, but after so many months it’s very exciting that the home study is finally coming to an end and we could be going to panel in a month’s time!
