Hi Ladies,
My husband and I made the decision to adopt after finding out he is no longer producing sperm. I have always wanted to adopt or foster so am delighted. Except that we have our birth son and as he is just about to turn 3 we are struggling to find an agency who will take us considering we would only be eligible for a child under a year. I am gutted! I have spoken to 3 on the phone and could not face any more so have emailed every local authority and voluntary agency on "first4adoption" within a 35 mile radius. I am already loosing hope and we have not even made the first step! I have no one but DH to talk to about this but I don't want to upset him as he is very aware that the infertility issues were him not me and is worried I may leave because of it (I obviously wont but I am only 25 so I understand his concerns). Anyone else had these problems and it worked out?
