Hi, I'm new to Mumsnet, but anyway here goes!
I am separated with 2 beautiful DC (boys aged 8 & 9). Although I am going through a divorce, the thing is I feel soooo broody! Before my marriage failed I had wanted more children and was interested in adoption. I have always dreamed of having a daughter. Now I'm on my own, no new man (don't really want one atm) and can't stop thinking how nice it would be if I could adopt a baby girl. I have a spare bedroom, enough money, & I don't have to go out to work.
But I am nervous about going through the assessment procedure, even though I know it's all for good reason, I'm just worried that maybe I won't be approved (I'm a single parent & I bet my ex will give me a rubbish reference). I'm also wondering if I will really be able to juggle looking after a baby / toddler whilst taking proper care of my 2 older DS. All on my own. (I do not have any family support.)
I'd love to hear from other mums how they manage to look after a baby and older children all by themselves.
Thanks
