3 year anniversary of bringing our girl home

Tomorrow is the day, it always feels so special to me, after watching a program last night on infertility, I felt so sad that more people don’t consider adoption. Yes it can be a long road, ours wasn’t particularly, just over a year, and yes the process is challenging at times, but on the whole we had great SW, support etc. Wish I could encourage more people to go for adoption, as seeing one lady last night childless after years of trying, sitting there with her pregnancy tests, my heart broke for her, and I so much wish I could show her our beautiful girl, and explain to her that she is our miracle, that made us complete, regardless of how she got to us. There must be so many would be amazing parents out there, and feel so sad that, so many little ones are waiting for those parents. Anyway enough of me trying to put the world to rights, just can’t believe we have had 3 amazing years, I feel like the luckiest mummy in the world.

Congratulations on your anniversary.

However, adoption isn't for everyone. And that's ok. No judgement from me if people are honest and say it's not for them. It's been amazing for us, but not everyone can be this lucky, and every family is different.

People know adoption is an option.

congratulations @user1497873278, its lovely that you want to share your happiness.

I didn't see that programme but you give a good idea of the content.

I think the thing to remember is that this is a massive journey people are on, maybe one day that lady will think about adoption, but when she is ready. I'm not sure how I would respond to someone showing me their lovely baby when I was still in despair about my losses.
