So we've been approved since last June and not had any potential links and I am beginning to feel like it will never happen. We are open to foster to adopt and siblings from 0 - 3, happy to have boy and girl or two girls but not two boys (we nearly got matche pre approval with 2 boys and me and DH both felt bereft that there was no girl). I'm not coping and am beginning to wonder if it will ever happen for us. SW seems to want to put their agenda on us of slightly older children and I feel a bit pressured and a bit guilty but also not persuaded that I could cope. I have said actually if I could say 3 years and a day I would, I don't want 3 years 11 months. I would say under 2 but chances of sibling group with 2 under 2 is slim.
Does anyone have any tips for getting through it and staying positive. We don't even look at Adoption link any more as there are so very few children who meet our criteria.
Feeling very discouraged and wonder if I am being unreasonable with my "criteria""
