Hi
We are nearly ready to start stage 2 and we are wanting to adopt 3 this is somthing I have thought long and hard about and know I manage as i have a wonderful support network .......... But every time I say to someone 3 ! They always say why 3 ! Really why 3 though 2 2 is much better
One of my reasons is that many sibling groups are spilt so as they can be adopted more easily we have the financial stability room in our home and definitely a lot of love to offer
Just wondered if anyone could comment on there experience of 3 or more
Thankyou X

Please keep us posted it all sounds like things are professing quickly.
Love the fact he asks everyday when his forever mum and dad are coming - shows that Foster carers are doing a great job at preparing him for his future.

Turns out someone forgot that inform foster carer and she thought is was for original date so aha booked a holiday for 10th June so we are now going to panel on Tuesday as in 7 days !!!! Omg ! Talk about a roller coaster 😱 I'm soooo nervous and excited and overwhelmed I think x

Wow how exciting! I am guessing the holiday will be after your little ones comes home to you?

So the next month will be one of enormous change. Smile

Mule22 · 09/05/2017 23:38

Hi yes they are going to squeeze it into 10 days although no one thinks LO will need that long and they think he will be home with us by the midway review but time will tell
Yes huge changes ! 😊💙

He sounds very very ready to have his forever mummy and daddy. Bless his heart.

I am adopted and wish you all the many years of happiness and joy our family has been lucky to have.

Hi Mule,
My husband and I adopted three siblings (all boys) who were placed with us 10 months ago.
I haven't read all of the responses on here as today is my first day back at work but I just wanted to reach out and say if you have any specific questions then let me know!
We were initially approved for 2 children, despite our SW suggesting 3. It wasn't until we were in the family finding process that we fell in love with our boys and pushed forward.
Throughout our process I encountered a lot of negativity on forums (not this one I must add) so I tend to be quite quiet but if you'd like to DM me then please do. Adoption, and my boys are my favourite subject!
Xx

mrsm291 · 22/05/2017 10:09

Forget that - I just realised your original post was from last year!! Whoops!

emesis · 22/05/2017 11:15

I still found it very interesting mrsm!

Mule22 · 22/05/2017 11:54

Thanks guys we were looking at sibling groups and this is somting I still believe we will have just instead of altogether we are now doing 1 and then we will look at adoption again in the future when we read out this LO which ADM is due Wednesday ! He was just right for us we knew it so we had to pursue so as in some of the first posts it's definitely about the right child or children thanks for your comment I shall keep in mind to ask questions once we approach the time to adopt again xx
