Hello All,
My partner and I have just hit the two year anniversay since we were approved at panel. In that time we have been trying to engage with our SW/LA and have also been proactive at trying to find matches on Linkmaker, but unfortunately have made very little progress.
Midway last year we were linked with a child, but ultimately this fell through during introductions but before matching panel (FTA case), and we were asked to take a 3 month break to help move past the trauma.
Since the adoption system restructure, we were hoping as more boroughs amalgamated that there would be more suitable cases for us locally, but there have been very few coming through out LA that are a match for us, and we continue to get turned down for our expressions of interest on Linkmaker with very little feedback. We even attend Exchange days where we can, but so far nothing has come of them either.
We were wondering how many other members have been waiting 2 or more years? And if anyone has any suggestions about what we can do to increase our chances of a match?
Thanks in advance.
