Hi loubielou, our profile has (so far) taken 3 months – I know!!!! We are finding it really quite difficult writing the part on ‘Statement of parenting’. Just when we get it to a place where we both like it, our social worker ‘suggests’ more improvements, which while frustrating are also good suggestions. We have just about finished (I think). We don’t keep in touch with anyone from our education days, but I wish we had grabbed some numbers/e-mail addresses. I just didn’t think of it at the time sadly. I've only really read children’s books about Adoption and the information we got while on the Education Days. I’m feeling much better now about things, I feel I’m back to my normal frame of mind, I think I was just feeling sorry for myself. I’m quite interested in getting my hands on a book called Reunions. Have you read this? Thanks for chatting; I really like knowing that you’re out there. Hi Richie68, congratulations on your adoption, it is fantastic to know that it does actually happen. How are you finding IVF really? It absolutely scares me to death. Did your first free cycle occur before or after you had adopted? God, sorry about my blunt questions. If you had your first cycle before you adopted, and you are now having your second cycle after you adopted, are you finding your second cycle easier because you already have a child? Are you still in contact with the birth family? What was it like meeting them? Do you have any suggestions for writing the ‘Statement of Parenting’ part of the profile? Thanks both for your replies and please keep in touch.
