Fiona, Sarah, Simon , Kim, Segun and Seyi , Kerry and Amerjeet, and Diane and James mention adopt
“when I wasn’t very successful with various relationships I just decided I wanted to adopt ”
“...you just have to draw a line with that sometimes and move on and that’s what we decided to do”
What do you think are the issues adopters face?
“...that they can love a child for no matter what’s happened to them or how they behave but always be there for them.”
“...it’s very important not to adopt because you couldn’t conceive… as the sole reason. It’s, it’s no substitute for child birth but it’s an amazing experience on its own.”
“...we couldn’t have a kids of our own and then maybe adoption was a way to go to achieve our purpose. ”
“...we had a baby that was stillborn and we had several miscarriages as well. We’d decided that originally we were going to foster as we didn’t think we could adopt birth children and we went through the fostering process, got to the end of the process”
“...we went through years of infertility treatment and… decided right early on that if things didn’t work out then we would try to adopt and decided to be placed on a waiting list”
