Life is great

[bberry]

Just a post to say how well our adoption has gone in the first year, dd has truly enriched our lives beyond our expectations. It has been an amazing journey and we look forward to a lifetime of joy that a child brings, not only to us, but also the wider family.

We will obviously have some difficult conversations in the future about why her birth family could not care for her and keep her safe but I would 100% recommend it to anyone thinking of it ....

It's always a leap of faith and it's important to be truthful to yourself, your partner and your social worker about any concerns or doubts you have so that they can be addressed fully

Happy Monday

So lovely to hear Bbery

Lovely! Hope I feel this happy one year in x

bberry so wonderful

Thanks ladies.... We often post when we are having challenges (me too) so I thought I would post a positive adoption affirming chat for any newbies to see.....xx

What a lovely post - that made me smile. Congratulations on your first year together, here's to many more.

That's lovely, and what a nice idea to provide some encouragement to others

That's great to hear, we don't share the good things often enough.

So pleased for you all

Lovely post and so wonderful to hear. Forums are often do heavily swayed to the negative for obvious reasons but it's always nice to hear the good side too :)

Massive congratulations.... its fab 'init!!

Thank you for such a positive post - I feel the same way about DS who has been with us almost a year

Thank you for the positive message, the end of stage 2 is not far off for us now and it's reassuring to read.

Great post! I feel similarly. We adopted 2 little uns just over a year ago and it's all gone really well. When I see them and us giggling and playing together I can't believe we are all so relaxed and happy (most of the time!). It was pretty stressful at first and who knows what the future holds but just now it's pretty fab!

How wonderful, thank you for sharing that uplifting message. Having a particularly disillusioned day today (still waiting for any potential matches) and this has made me switch a bit of my positivity back on. Thank you
