Today I was speaking to a woman who told me, very briefly, about the three children she tried to adopt and how it went wrong. The siblings had far greater needs than she and her husband had been initially led to believe, and she found the social worker side of things very demanding, sometimes unreasonable and, for them, unreliable. She also (while adding 'please don't kept my experiences put you off') mentioned she knew of many adoptions that had failed due to many reasons, the one that particularly resonated with me was how it clashed with birth children.
So, please, as a contrast can you share your positive views and experiences?
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on adoption.
