Sorry to hear your wife cheated. You will need to resolve your relationship issues before you can even consider the first steps, be it together or going it alone. Head over to Adoption UK for a wealth of information.Happy to have found this page.
I recently found out my wife has cheated on me and we in the process of IUI/IVF treatment with difficulties ( same sex marriage ). I am going to start exploring adoption, any tips and support would be massively appreciated, I feel like I'm a lost soul and don't know where to start
I nearly adopted. Its a difficult process. Social workers are overworked and as such they miss things in kids backgrounds which can prove, as with us to breakdown.Happy to have found this page.

That's so shit to here. I thought it would be supportive with it being such a big deal ! I am literally just at the making the enquiry stage so haven't experienced anything if then yet, I know I'm going to have to jump through hoops which I'm prepared to do but I'll struggle not to tell them to f*CK off if they were ignorant or questioning my ability!!I nearly adopted.

I dont want to pour piss, i know people who've done it and its worked out and been the best. But i have to tell you what I needed to hear. It doesnt always work out. They dont even report on disruptions in a meaningful way!
If youre going to persue it, make sure you are 100% confident in yourself as you may come across foster carers and social workers who condescend and try to push you into something which doesnt feel right.
I know this sounds horribly negative but I really just want people to go into it with more balance than we did. We trusted the professionals and they let us down.
So sorry to hear this, are you still exploring the option or has your experience put you off? XI nearly adopted. Its a difficult process. Social workers are overworked and as such they miss things in kids backgrounds which can prove, as with us to breakdown.

We are going through the adoption process (Scotland) we spoke to local authorities and agencies and decided an agency suited us best. We are just getting ready to go to the prep groups which is when we hear the harsh and brutal reality of what we are facing. Over 50% of people drop out after the prep groups apparently.Is anyone still watching this thread? We’ve been seriously considering fostering to adopt, but it’s a bit overwhelming and hard to know what to do for the best. Has anyone been through this process, either as the adopter or the adoptee?
