It's nearly a year since my last update but we've been as busy as ever! We were approved as foster carers in December and have had two placements since then, both under two years old. It's been emotionally and physically hard work, but we've loved every minute, and it's made us even more convinced that we want to start a family of our own, although we know that we will want to continue fostering alongside.
We still want to go abroad for fertility treatment, and will be adopting (the use of the term in this context is a bit controversial but it's how we feel about it) a frozen embryo. We've had our first consultation with the clinic and it's now our decision when we want to proceed. Nicky's started taking pre-pregnancy vitamins and is on a mission to get as fit and healthy as possible before we go ahead. It's all very exciting!
