If you are considering whether adoption is right for you then it may be beneficial to hear from someone who has previously gone through the experience. Here we tell the short story of Joe and David and their adoption of baby Sam.
Their Story
Joe and David have always wanted to be parents and as they neared their late 20’s they decided to find out more about adoption. They knew surrogacy wasn’t right for them and way too expensive for them to afford so adoption seemed like a natural fit.
After some internet research and discussion they decided that adoption was the right option and they wanted to go ahead with the process using Adopt Wales. From their research they knew they would have no barriers when adopting and were hopeful that they would find a new addition to their family very soon.
Their dreams came true in December 2013 when they adopted a 5 ½ month old baby called Sam. Joe and David were ecstatic as this meant that they could be a part of every one of their child’s birthdays and watch them develop through all the stages, including precious moments such as learning to walk and talk.
Looking back on the process now they found it all much easier than they had expected – and much less invasive. The hardest part was the anticipation while waiting to be matched with a child but that was more excitement than anything.
