Hi, my husband and I are at the beginning of thinking about adoption. We already have 2 young girls, but we really feel we would love to provide a child with a stable home and family. Adoption is something I've thought about for years, even before our girls came along. My husband has recently become interested. Are we in a "worse" position as we already have 2 children? What are the main points you would recommend us thinking about at this time? Any advice you can offer at this early stage is more than welcome. X

There are a few very recent posts on the adopters with birth children board. Maybe start by reading those?

Hi there and welcome, How old are your children? A good age gap is usually recommended. Having children doesn't mean no. I would recommend going to an information evening, there usually run them once a month. When we started out we though a few things would go against us, age, sexuality to name a few but they weren't a problem at all. We successfully adopted 7 weeks ago, and to think we nearly discounted ourselves before we even started. Good luck x

Hi, my children are 6 and almost 4. My husband and I are mid 30's. I rang our local authority a couple of days ago and spoke with them. They were quite helpful and are going to send us out some info at this early stage. I'm finding myself preparing to be turned down even at this early stage!
