Adoption Forms

We answered the big questions on the adoption form on the way to Blackpool, I kept them as i thought they would make a lovely memory.

Why are you considering adoption at this point in your life?

GO: because I have now come to a point in my life where I have travelled the world, met lots of interesting people and have settled with someone I want to raise a family with.  

MrsM: I have always known that I wanted to adopt at some point in my life.  I knew I would never be able to conceive naturally and IVF is not something I wanted to do.  Why waste time and resources on a procedure that has no guaranty of success.  I spent my twenties travelling and finding out who I was as a person.  In my thirties I met Stuart an fell in love.  Now as I enter my forties the time is right for us to start and raise a family together.

Have you had any particular experience in our life that would.....

G.O. I travelled around Australia for a year.  I drove around on my own, I picked up people who travelled with me and some have become life Lon friends.

MrsM: as a forces child every 2/3 years I would leave the school/friends/places that had become a big part of my life and be expected to star again somewhere new.

  

This was part of my everyday life and at the time I thought nothing of it but looking back now I see that it was quite traumatic to leave what was familiar and have to start all over again.

What qualities do you think you can bring to adoption?

G.O I am a calm and considered person.  I don't make any rash decisions.

Honest, responsible, trustworthy, fun loving.

MrsM:  smart, positive, creative, determined, caring, adaptable
