Adoption positive vibes needed

[HelsLou]

I am lucky in so many ways, but struggling at the moment... thinking will we ever have children? After 10 years of trying, several rounds of IVF, we finally got matched through the adoption process with a beautiful sibling group. Sadly it fell through at the last minute and we're back to square one. Keep thinking that life is trying to tell us something! Would love to hear positive stories from people who have been through similar long waits to help us keep the faith. Hugs to all going through the same thing x

We had a match with siblings fall through in April as placement order wasn't granted. We'd been waiting 3 months at that point and everyone was so sure it would be granted.

The next week we found another sibling group on linkmaker and we have matching panel this week 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 they are perfect for us and hoping the emotional rollercoaster is worth it and this one is meant to be x

So sorry to hear this, it’s truly heartbreaking and you need time to grieve for what you have lost (it sounds crazy when you haven’t met them, but you’ve spent every hour, minute thinking of them)

I was almost 3 years in when I was due to go to matching panel, it fell through less than a week before and I felt like I had suffered another miscarriage. I waited another 4 months but nothing happened so I decided to walk away from adoption as I also felt the world was trying to tell me something.
Anyway, that’s not where it all ended. Less than a week after walking away my SW rang to say a link they had been pursuing had come through, my head was all over the place but I agreed to find out more. I was very wary and didn’t believe it would happen until the day I met my girl.
I can honestly say all the waiting and heartache was worth it and I cannot imagine her not in my life.

I have always believed in ‘what’s meant for you will find you’ - don’t lose faith xx

Our match nearly didn't happen. We were approached on linkmaker, then they said they were going with another family - then they came to us.

Things happen for a reason!

(and I am normally not remotely 'woo')

Thank you so much. You guys are amazing! We should be very proud of ourselves for showing such resilience xx
