Hi all and thanks, especailly to Dee its nice to know you still pop in every now and again. I don;t come here often now, but think its still a great site.
Rachel, just to answer you, we went through our local council adoption service, but did look at and speak to 2 other agenccies as some have selection criteria that we didn't fit anyway. I think the bigger the better as church agencies don't get as many children coming through them and untimately the wait is even longer than normal. Its taken us 1o months from beginning to end of the process, including the classes, whcih is about normal for all agencies. It has been the best decision we ever made and we don;t regret giving up on IVF one little bit. Its along wait till matching, but you wait 9 months to give borth anyway and they have said about a yearish?? who knows.
Anyway, happy to answer anything abouut our experience, but each agency is different. Love to all xx
