December 2015 is when we started chatting with each other on ‘orange facebook’ (inside joke).

Fast forward to New Year's Eve 2015 we were both out with friends, constantly messaging each other like a pair of excited teenagers. It was then that we decided to make it ‘official’ or as our social worker writes it “exclusive”. 

We started our adoption journey in Oct 2017 where we attended an Adoption open day to gain a better understanding of the process. We were official accepted onto stage 1 in Jan 2018 which took 2 months to complete. We then started stage 2 in May 2018 which took until Nov 2018 where we were approved adopters.

Our Son, ‘Pudding’ came to live with us in Feb 2019 and we are hoping to be his legal parents by the end of 2019
