Experience of Adopting a Baby

We are in stage 2 of the adoption process and because we have a young BC, we will need to adopt a baby (at least under 18 months). I really would love to hear others experiences of what it was like to adopt a baby and what challenges you faced as they got older. I feel like all the training we have had is based around children who are a bit older and I can’t relate a lot of it to a baby. I know any baby who has been separated from its BM has been through trauma but it’s hard to gauge how it will effect them.

@Pikach
I'm sorry you are this situation.

However if you wish to have s child adopted you need to contact social services.
This is to ensure that you have the support you need and that you are making the right decision
Adoption is a huge decision and has life long implications for you and the child. Its also quite a complex legal process and you will need support
