anyone adopted a child
The missus and myself phoned about the possibilty of adopting a child after having lost 2 babies aready in the past and being told that there was 25% chance of the same thing happening again, we decided against the wife getting pregnant again but still wanted another child to go with our other 2 girls. But when we rang today we were told that because our eldest daughter is autistic we may not be able to adopt as they aint sure that we would have the time to spare.To say that we are totally gutted is an understatement.We havent just jumped into this idea and have given it alot of thought over the last 3 years on how it would affect everyone.I will be really pissed off if they decided against us this reason but wont know for months yet.
Just wondered if anyone else had dealing with the adoption agencies and what was their experiences

Sorry to hear this buddy, I hope it works out for you in the end.
I read in the paper today that the parents of the 2 boys who were killed in that dreadfull car accident by the Luton Town goalkeeper had also applied to adopt a child as without there boys they felt they could still offer a loving home.............................................. .....they were rejected as the authorities believed them to still be grieving!!!!!
Makes me mad!

thats a poor state of affairs to be refused for that reason. i suppose the queers ,lesbians and minority wierdos wanting to adopt are put first.

thanks for the advice this is what we will do if turned down by our own local authority as we are determined to give some poor lonely child a loving home
