We have been advised that our little boys birth mother is 28 weeks pregnant and we have been asked by social services to consider concurrent planning. We would foster the new born sibling with a view to adopting. Baby would be removed from BM at birth. We have loads of questions regarding the pregnancy and baby. This is not what we are confused about. There is no doubt in our mind that we will agree to the concurrent planning/fostering and then adoption. We have always wanted a sibling group.
I'm after any advice re: Adoption leave etc...
I am currently on adoption leave for DS. Would we be entitled to further adoption leave once the fostering had ceased with the New sibling? My years adoption leave for DS ends mid October. I don't reckon that the new sibling would have been adopted by then. We expect a battle from Birth family.
Any legal advice/guidance would help.
I dont want to inform my employer just yet. I want to know where I stand first...
Any advice?
