Ive been searching the Internet night after night trying to find other women who are also in my situation regarding placing their child for adoption. All I've found is support groups and forums for America. I've had a little nosey on here and seen a few posts about UK birth mums
Obviously UK laws are very different on adoption than American laws. Over there they have so much say in it all and in the UK everything's alot more closed. So it would be nice to speak with some people going through the same thing. I'm currently 13 weeks pregnant and my social workers havn't even arranged a meeting with an adoption agency yet. The whole process is taking ages to get going. My SW hasn't even got experience with a woman wanting to give her baby away apparently it's really rare in the UK! Probably cos it's such a cold process. I have been told I might be able to meet the potential adoptees, however they have told me this whole process takes that long they may not even have parents in place for when the child is born! I let them know from 6 weeks pregnant! It's ridiculous.
If anyone has experience with this please get in touch
Thanks for listening.
