Hi all my husband and I are yet to start the adoption process but we will be attending our first information event in Jan 19.
I joined this site so that I might reach out and connect with others who have perhaps been through a similar process that we are facing.
I have so many questions but I’m trying to pace myself. It’s difficult for me not to run away with thoughts and plans now that we have decided to adopt.
It is a decision that we have been considering for a long time but we have finally moved into a lovely new house this year and both have settled jobs. So now seems like an ideal time to begin.
We are sadly not able to have children of our own and I decided that fertility treatment was not for me.
So if anyone has any advice for us, has been through the adoption process recently or is just starting it would be great to hear from you.
My first query is how on earth do you choose an agency? We are based in the south west so choices are limited anyway but wouldn’t you just choose the local agency so you can attend meetings?
