First of all, a massive congratulations ?. Second of all I have never heard of the ADM going against a unanimous positive recommendation made by panel. I remember when we received a unanimous recommendation by panel and I had the same concerns that what if the ADM said no. The agency had no doubts whatsoever so carried on with arranging introductions etc before is was ratified anyways. Just remind yourself on how many people said yes. The whole of panel, your FF/SW agreed it was a good match plus the children’s SW and the team lead/manager (if applicable). Start celebrating now. Your LOs will soon be with you. As for out of office reply, I just told people I was on maternity leave but I was in a position to tell people that we were adopting and I wanted to tell people. It all depends how much information you want to give people. Wishing you all the best
