Hi, DH and I were delighted to have been approved as adopters at panel a few months ago particularly as we were nervous as I have a history of some anxiety and depression and we managed to get through and all went well. At panel they suggested that a child with not too many issues and as straight forward as possible would be what they would recommend to avoid too much stress for me.
Since this time however we have been sent information about children who quite frankly are far from straightforward with learning difficulties, physical disabilities etc. When I spoke to the Adoption Manager she said that parents dont give up normal children for adoption and most had significant problems although they do have some children who have suffered abuse and neglect. We feel disheartened by this as although we know all children deserve a loving home I don't want to take on too difficult a challenge for it all to go wrong. I feel surely there are simpler children needing loving homes out there. Am I wrong?
