I am so excited for them as they have waited for years to have her.

I will tell them about MN and this new topic.

Re being cautious about newborn adoptions - neighbours of ours adopted a newborn, and it transpired that the families of the baby's parents (who were both about 16) knew nothing about it until a careless SW turned up on the mother's doorstep when the baby was 4½ months old to get her signature on the final adoption papers; the baby's grandmother opened the door and said "what baby?" and subsequently all 4 grandparents said they would support the baby's parents and the adoptive family had to give her up Sad Sad Sad

A year later they were able to safely adopt another baby girl but I've never forgotten about their first daughter - she was DS1's "twin".

Cadmum, I do hope your friends' adoption goes through smoothly Smile

Oh my goodness! Sad I would DIE if that happened to our friends because of me. Perpaps I should ask to have the entire thread deleted.

Congrats to your friends! My brother and SIL have just been approved for adopting, after about 8 years of heartache, trying to have children, finding out my SIL is infertile, trying IVF, etc. They are SO excited and can't wait!

I wouldn't worry about anyone reading this, you've given VERY little away.

I don't think there's enough information on here to identify anyone is there? I have heard of adoptive parents of triplets needing to be very quiet about their adoption as there are so few triplets born and subsequently adopted that they would be very easy to identify. They could only tell people outside of the immediate family after the adoption was finalised.

YEAH! Smile JJ at MN towers sent me an email this morning to let me know that the post was deleted.

Thank you so much for all of your congratulations.

MaryBS: I hope that your SIL doesn't have too long a wait ahead of her. I think that our friends have been 'on the list' for years as well.
