So after myself and my DH decided to adopt I did the usual, reading lots, forums and any info I could get my hands on. We had a cooling off period for us both to ensure it was still what we wanted then.......
I spoke to an adoption agency 6 weeks ago and they sent me a pack with a form to fill out to arrange for the initial social worker visit.
I sent this off 4 weeks ago, heard nothing for the first 2, rang last week and was told that they would be having a team meeting this week and we'd be allocated a social worker then, if I hadn't heard anything by Thursdsay then to ring. Anyway, I hadn't, so I've just rung and been told we still hadn't been allocated a SW and ring again next Thursday as they have a team meeting on Wednesday and I will 'probably' be allocated one then.
I know the process is a long one, and I'm probably just being over enthusiastic about it, but is this what it's going to be like?
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on adoption.

Sigh, is this what it's going to be like - or am I being unrealistic?
