Has anyone had any experience with adoption? I had a very traumatic pregnancy and birth so I am considering adopting my 2nd child. Does anyone have any advice, experience or places to start doing research?
Thanks so much

Hey, good Morning,
I understand adoption may be a sensitive subject, And if you’ve made up your mind, and it’s final then I hope your journey finds you well.
But please do attempt to try every avenue before , if it’s a possibility…
You’ve mentioned the birth and pregnancy where traumatic but please don’t allow that to be a fault of the babies outcome.
If you could potentially try and see someone or a therapist if it’s a case of you feeling you have no bond towards the baby because of the trauma/ whatever your reasoning may be.
I hope your journey back to happiness finds you well 🙌🏽

Have a look a banardos. My husband and I are potentially going to adopt a 3rd child as my last two pregnancies both didn't agree with me (Hornmones man...) and the births were also very horrid. I've looked at banardos and they seem to be a really good place to talk to that will explain the process.
