“We spent lockdown getting ready to welcome two adopted children to our home” “It feels like all our Christmases have come at once! They feel like they’re ours already and we haven’t even met them yet.
“Lockdown has been tough but the support we’ve had has got us through.
There is no denying it – it is hard! I would love to be able to say that 13 weeks in, we have established a new routine, a new normal, and every day is full of new opportunity and delight, but this is no fairytale.
Adopters Story Our journey like many others, started with a very painful event; Infertility, IVF and a period of mourning.
When our daughter’s social worker visited our home to see that we could accommodate the little person about to enter into our lives, she mentioned the “honeymoon period” that adopters often have.
When you make the initial call to enquire about adoption you have no idea of what awaits you.
Yesterday, our family waved goodbye to our children’s social worker, Claire, for the last time.
