Sorry about the previous duplicate topics... My computer had a panic!Basically, my partner and I are trying to go through the adoption process and she has the BrCa 2 Gene which is early onset for Breast Cancer.The council have sent us a formal letter today say that they will not consider us for adoption.The operation she has to have will be a couple of years into the future and it''s really upset us.Has anyone else experienced something similar??Is there anything we can do??

You can appeal, or go with a different LA, or with a VA (voluntary adoption agency).Are they saying no, never, or no till she's had this operation?If you want to appeal, I'd suggest writing to the BAAF (look up their web page) as they are very helpful at wording letters etc.

Hi, Just to say if the username is your real names, might be worth changing as these boards are open and anyone (so social workers, birth parents etc are able to read them). Must of us use some sort of nickname. If you contact the AUK administrator they should be able to help.Best wishes, Minnie x
