Hi everyone!
I'm a 20 something living in the UK and one half of a lesbian couple. I've been with my wife for more than 10 years now and for the last 3 years we've been really focussed on starting a family.
We've always agreed on having a reasonably large family. Initially we said that we'd like to have a child each and adopt siblings but since then, i have had some issues that prevent me from ovulating and therefore i'll need additional help to conceive. We decided that it would be best if my wife were the one to carry but still have a couple of children.
To cut a long story short, we've been trying to conceive with a known donor for 2 and a half years. We had a miscarriage in 2012 that damn near broke our hearts but other than that we haven't managed to get there yet. We've been for tests at the hospital and everything is normal.
We both feel ready to be parents and because of that we don't want to have to wait another couple of years before we take more steps towards it so now feels like a good time to start the adoption process.
We having registered our interest with a local adoption charity in our area and have booked in for an open evening of sorts on February 13th. We're really looking forward to it and really hoping that we can get the process started as soon as possible.
Stay tuned for updates!
