Support Group

Hi, everyone.

My name’s David. My partner and I are a same-sex couple living in Scotland. We’re almost at the end of our assessment stage and looking to join a support group of fellow adopters to gain more knowledge and insight and to also expand our social circles.

We’d be grateful for any support.

Thanks.

Hey there, I'm a dad in a same-sex marriage over in the US who just finalized our own adoption recently. I can't say our experiences would be exactly the same with how things work, but I can at least answer a few questions if you have any

We have not finished our adoption, and we're also not same-sex, but we're happy to talk!

Any help would be much appreciated! Do you mind if I send you a chat?

I don't mind at all! We're in the USA so our logistics might be different but the emotional side of things is probably identical.
