How long was the process for you from the moment you were approved to family find to when you found your son's profile? I imagine it was quite short, if you didn't see many profiles before him. Did you feel any sort of pressure, internally or externally, to find a suitable match as soon as you could?
Hi Emma, thanks for watching. From approval to when we found Little Man's profile was only a few few months, so quite quick in the scheme of things. Then from profile to matching panel was approx. 4/5 months. In total we had considered probably 10/15 profiles. Didn't feel any pressure, just knew something had to feel right about it all.
Not particularly, you can register interest for multiple children although alot of adopters may not choose to do that and wait to see about each child.
We are just starting our exciting family finding journey.
Great video and very helpful, thanks 😊
Family finding is great! Hope all goes well x

Hi, you mentioned that it had to be a couple. Did they give you any additional information as to why single adopters weren’t being looked at?
It depends, they should usually state why though
I’m assuming you express interest in one child then wait for some sort of feedback and not continue looking?
