So after 20+ years of knowing (hoping) we would adopt at some point, I have just contacted a couple of agencies (one more to go) about their information evenings. DD is almost five so we think it's a good time as she'll be starting school and we can guarantee a useful age gap.
When I say 20 years, I always hoped to adopt as well as/instead of having birth children and DH knew that was part of the deal. My parents had other kids at home with us for respite care and I found it an easy and somewhat obvious decision to make.
I know it's really early but finally I can say we look like we've got our toe in the water!
