Me and my partner are considering adoption, we both work full time, he has a regular 9-5 work pattern while I work nights 3 or 4 a week. he leaves the house at 7.00am and returns at 6pm while I leave at 6pm and return about 8.15am.
In your opinions would this be a hindrance to being approved, in reality we'd be more than happy to open our home to one or two infant school age children, we'd work it by having my mum cover the hour and bit when neither of us is in at mornings, I would then to do the school drop off before going to bed and do the pick up once I'd woken up. I'd then eat with the children then when OH came in from work he'd do bed time.
I'm willing to be flexible about cutting down some of my hours but couldn't afford to stay at home on OHs salary and I know he wouldn't like the idea of staying at home.
