Hi, i need some advice. We have been put forward for fostering to adopt. We had a call just over week and a half ago about a little boy that was suitable for us. Had no info other than brief birth parents info, dob of baby and that he is ok. we were told to go and buy everything we needed as they were very sure that the baby would be placed with us on Monday. It didn't happen and we were told before if this was the case then they would be going for adoption in 3 wks. During this I have had to prepare my birth child for this who has gone through so many emotions and then had to let him down. I have been trying to get more info from social workers and am getting very little. Have managed to find out that the adoption hearing is not in 3 weeks but in June, and got told that by the way if they have to remove baby before then he will be coming to us. Have asked that as it is going to adoption can we have more info on the baby, but they won't give us any. I am finding this very distressing and feel terrible that i have put my son through this. Have a house full of baby stuff that I am struggling to even look at. I know there are legalities but where is the support and help for prospective adopters? Thanks x
