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.
Our adoption journey had begun with a massive false start and an extended wait as we sorted out a few things, so when things actually moved forward we were impatient to get on.
We were approved at panel in February 2015, and then told there were fewer children in the system waiting for their forever family! The disappointment was palpable, after an exhausting assessment we were both extremely disappointed.
