Dh and I have been discussing adopting a child -we have 2 adult dd's ( 22 and 20) and a 9 yr old ds. Our eldest Dd has a 1 year old ds so we are grandparents too.
We feel we have a loving family to offer a child and ideally would like to adopt an older child (4+).
I am a sahm mum and dh has a good job and we have room. But all that aside we feel we could offer a child a loving supportive home.
So I'm doing reading and research about the stages and what's involved etc.
I'm 48 & Dh is 49. We aren't too old according to what I've read.
Just looking for some info really on starting the process and what to expect. Do we choose the local authority or go through an agency?
Any starting info gratefully received!
