Hi ladies.
My DH is completely infertile and at the moment we're heading towards donor sperm, but I want to look more into adoption as well just in case this doesn't work out.
We're both 30, white British, married, both in good health and neither of us have any children. Both work full-time, though not particularly high-paid jobs.
Over the last few months I've read snippets here and there and wondered what the 'rules' are in relation to UK adoption? Ie. I have a past history of depression many years ago in my teens and documented in my records - will this affect anything? Also neither of us have vast amounts of assets. We rent and have savings of just £3K at present. Again, will this come into play?
One of the most important questions though is just how long we are likely to wait, as I understand it's an incredibly lengthy process? Is anybody able to shed any light on this?
Also meant to say that we'd be looking to adopt a baby (I know it's a longer wait for this).
Thank you in advance!
