    Hi NL

    Didn't know about the adoption you were trying for...sounds very intrusive. Interviewing former partners and your employer? !!!!!!??

    Commiserations and hugs x

    I fail to see what on earth the policy of talking to so many people about your private life will entail.

    So sorry you are havin such a rubbish time about your desire to adopt, seems very wrong and as if to prevent the very outcome desired.

    For reasons of not wanting to get the council named and shamed I will tell you that there are 20 pages of "homework" that you have to complete and 10 home visits. I am sure that they need to really check you out, but honestly outing me to my employer isn't really required. Also they require you to take a year's adoption leave. I work for a huge company and they only give 6 so you have to take 6 unpaid.

    ok enough about heartbreak.

    That's what I thought; we must be very out of touch with celeb culture, Brizzled. ;)

    Ah, NewLeaf am sorry so many obstacles have been put in the way of you and OH adopting.. :(
    Sad also that you need to keep your sexuality secret from your bosses; that's pretty bad in this day and age. :mad:
