The more we read, the harder we fell for them. Our little girl was said to be looking for a Mum who would ‘save money for her in the bank, take her to school on time, wear makeup and be thin’ and our little boy was looking for a dad who would ‘build things and go to work.’ Well this just seemed perfect, like fate almost…I am a teacher and my husband is an architect. There on this email was a breakdown of all our own characteristics and interests and a consideration as to how and why these would complement our future children’s. It felt like it had been written from the heart – she clearly believed our children were very special. Out of nowhere we received an email that would change our lives forever! The email caught our attention as it was from a social worker who had clearly read our profile and considered the potential match carefully before contacting us. We just kept telling ourselves that the match had to be right and I can tell you that when you know, you just know! Here we were, desperate to complete our family, yet so willingly scrolling through children’s profiles and writing them off. That in itself was tough as every profile we looked through felt like we were being too picky. It was a sunny Tuesday afternoon in April, and we had literally read hundreds of profiles on Linkmaker, but none of them seemed perfect for us. In this blog post, Laura remembers how they instantly knew they'd found their children. Laura and Adam adopted their son and daughter through Adoption Focus.
