Adoptive Mommas

Me and my husband have been trying for our second child for nearly 6 years. We've come to the conclusion that the only way to complete our family is going to be adoption. Just wondering if there is any advice for us newbies to help us in this process. We're UK based. Thank you in advance.

Got a foster child(14 months) and still in diapers. They had a terrible rash and cries every time he takes a bath or gets his diaper changed. I’ve been working with him since he came two weeks ago and the rash is pretty much gone now but he still cries I guess bc he expects it to still hurt. After the rash is completely gone, how can I potty train him and how long does it usually take? I already got him a potty and training undies.

Currently ttc is taking a toll on my mental state. It’s emotionally exhausting and it feels like too much to bear. I don’t know how people do it. I desperately want to have a child, but trying to conceive one myself seems out of reach. My husband has adoption benefits through his employer. How did you decide to make the jump?

I currently in the middle of giving my baby girl up for adoption. And in the beginning I underestimated how hard it would be especially picking the parents so early on. I’m doing a private adoption so My experience might be different then others. But I’m currently 28 weeks, and I’m beginning to have second thoughts. I’m not prepare to have a baby nor ready so adoption was really my only choice. But I can’t help but feel heavy hearted when I think about giving birth and watching my baby leave the room and not being able to take her home. I feel like I’ve bonded with her so much while she’s been in my tummy and I can’t help but feel like I’m failing her since I’m stressing about it so much. I would really love someone to talk to and get advice from!

I’m trying to talk my husband into adoption if we can’t have a biological child. How easy was it for your spouse to come on board?
