Hi
I wanted to consider fostering/adoption however my ex partner who I have a child with is very against the idea. He says adoptive children will have difficulties and does not want other children around his child who lives me. However, I am confident I can provide a loving home for another child and my ex partner sees his own child irregularly. If social services contact him he is likely to try and put them off anyway possible, does anyone know how much weight will they give to what he will say? The kind of thing I imagine he will say is that the child would watch TV or eat take away for example, he would point out every bad thing I suspect and will not give a glowing reference as it is not in his interests to do that. However he would not be able to put forward any serious complaint or reason as to why I should not adopt and just would like to know if anyone has experience with this situation. Thanks
