Hi all,
Background information first:
I am infertile (unexplained infertility). Last year we had several rounds of fertility treatment (clomid) with the last one in January.in Febuary we decided to stop. We have always agreed that we don't want ivf, and before we even realised we had fertility issues we'd always talked about adoption (I always had a feeling about it)
At the moment I am on anti depressants and having counselling to help me to process my feelings.
So we are thinking about starting looking into the adoption process,all being well, probably about September/October as it will be well after 6months of my last treatment and I will hopefully be off my tablets by then. (Also hoping to get dh to try some counselling too) but we are very confused about things (I say us, it's me!)
i know that you can get brochures with the information from local authorities, but is that a "first step"? Do they class that as official contact? Or will they just see it as almost sending out a prospectus? (Bad wording I know, but do you understand what I mean?)
We know we need to get intouch with a la or social services but which area? Do you not go for the one you live in but neighbouring ones? Do they have to be neighbouring? Or nearby? Or anywhere?
Thanks in advance for your help. We both look forward to hearing your responses.
