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.

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?

[@daddydadandme]

It depends, they should usually state why though

[@katierippon6106]

I’m assuming you express interest in one child then wait for some sort of feedback and not continue looking?

[@daddydadandme]

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.
