Me and my husband are going through the progress of adopting a little boy. We met him over a year ago and he's the sweetest little angel and me and my partner love him so much like he's are own.
He's 7 years old and unfortunately his mother sadly passed away and his farther isn't in the picture. He's so soft and gentle and very shy. He has the cutes freckles and curly ginger hair I just want to cuddle him so much but he's still not over his real mother and I can't imagine ever will be.
He keeps telling me his misses his mummy and that he can't sleep at night now she's not there to cuddle him at night. I've tried being there for him at bed time ill read him a book and stay snuggled up with him for abit which he enjoys but he still cries at night and says he wants his mummy back which hurts my heart so much because I can't take that pain away from him.
I thought about asking social services if they had any of his mums belongings like clothes etc. I thought I could make him a teddy or something out of her old clothes so he still had her smell with him but I don't know if they'll respond.
Also he's struggling with school we took him for trial day at the local school and the teachers reported back but he was too scared to eat in front of the other children and but a couple of the others boys were bullying him and calling him a cry baby.
He won't talk to me about this when I try and bring it up and just holds on to me whenever I mention school.
Also he's not comfortable around my husband as much as he is with me because he doesn't know what it's like to have a dad. He's very clingy with me and doesn't talk much to my husband at all which is making things hard.
Me and my partner love him so much and we just want him to be happy and have the best life imaginable.
