Hi Everyone
I have known for a while that my youngests birth mum was expecting. Baby was born in September and they went into a parenting assesment. I have tried to find out any information but always given very little. Birth mum has a learning disability which presented as quite significant with regards to major lack of care to her first born who we have adopted. I don't expect this assessment to go well sadly and have been given indications that it isn't and the LA have suggested our LA start assessing us to be approved. Different birth dad to our son however he is not involved at all and says baby isn't his! Our LA have started by doing our DBS checks and refernces but say they can't proceed with more until the LA who is dealing with case has definate plan of adoption for baby. I am finding it all very frustrating the lack of information, I don't have a clue what assesments they have done or if any birth family on dads side come forward but if he is saying he isn't the dad then could they even consider his family? The parenting assessment if 3 months would end in December and we wouldn't be approved adopters so couldn't have lo placed with us on F2A so the question is could lo go into temporary foster care until we were approved to do f2a or would the LA just wait and go down the usual adoption route? So so frustrating, all we want is to be approved :O(
