Hey guys

We have begun to seriously look at adoption too. We've given ourselves another year and then we will look at starting the process.

The process looks long and arduous...in WA you start with attending DCD (DOCS) seminars and then you go through a home assessment process (I think)...I think the whole process takes about 12-24 months...

We're still within the age limit...but my understanding was that there wasn't too be more than 40 years between yourself and the child...therefore if you are a little older, the child you are adopting needs to be a little older...

We're not sure if this is the pathway we will be heading down...but are starting to prepare ourselves...lots of people don't quite understand our decision...but until you are in this position, I don't think you can fully understand...

Wishing you both all the best...
