please excuse a post from a non adopter here.
Two different sets of friends are going through the adoption process. one couple we matched recently and their son came to live with them a week or so ago. Another couple are not as far on, dh is their referee and he meets the social worker in a fortnight.
I have no doubt both sets of parents will be wonderful parents but reading the stories on here has made me worry a lot. are there any (many) happy successful adoptions these days? I had several family friends who were adopted when I was growing up with no apparent problems and know a family socially who have two adopted daughters. on here there seem to be so many stories where it's been incredibly hard that I worry for my friends.
I'm rationalising this thinking that people for whom it is dead easy probably don't post here but I'm worried for then and have certainly had my eyes opened by this board (and I work in the nhs in a role where I see a number of child protection cases most months)
