So, I'm infertile, I've known this since I was 16 and diagnosed with PCOS but since then I've had a major operation removing my large intestine and have been told by my surgeon that getting, staying and having a healthy baby outcome is going to be on the miracle level.
So me and DP are talking about adoption, we've read about it and got the basic details but are struggling to get advice from people with real experience and would appreciate some help!
I am 22, he is 27. We live in our own 3 bed semi house with a large garden. Would we be eligible for starters, I know I'm young and we would be looking to start the process in a year or 2 after fully explorin the adoption process and I have qualified as an SEN teacher.
I have some personal questions I would love people to answer, but can understand if people don't want to. Like is it a hard process? Do you feel like you've missed out on the pregnancy/naming/ brand newborn stages? What about having to have contact with their birth parents (I read open adoptions are preferred nowadays), do you worry about your child leaving to live with their birth parents?
I would appreciate your advice and help, thanks
