hi everyone thank you all for your support towards the sensitive issue that we are having this problem mainly lies with me and not my partner im the one who cannot have kids because of reasons that i find extremely stressful and difficult to talk about. everyone has been great with the answers and if anyone wishes to speak to me or advise me more i would be more than happy for it.

Why so young? A lot of people try for a baby for a lot longer than two years. There really is no rush, and a couple of years wait is relatively normal.

No, most reputable agencies will not let you adopt at 21 and this is for a good reason. If you are serious, then it would be best to keep on saving and build a secure life, then come back to adoption if you have had no luck by age 28.

Artemesian agony aunthey I'm happy to help you out if I can with any advice I can think of : ) I just want to say though first I'm the same age as you and honestly having a kid now would be crazy for myself (thats me though) cause of not being set up like owning a house, secure jobs etc. But if you two have that already then thats impressive and you're lucky to be ready so early (I reckon it is better to have kids once you are ready earlier than later so you can enjoy your life later on more care free when youre gonna need it hehe) You have not said much about how is it you can't have a child? If you havn't seen a doctor yet I'd do that as if it turns out to be an issue about your fertility there are hormones and stuff you can take to increase your ovulation. If it's your bf though it would become more complicated and expensive like IVF. You're still young so you aren't facing a time battle like many women approaching the end of their fertility so I wouldn't panic. Adoption is always a very caring and admirable thing to do if it turns out you two could not have kids together. If you'd like to talk more about it I'm happy to answer emails or go on messenger (I just hope it works out for you two however that might be) best of luck xo

thanks for your answer i have tried adoption agengies but i dont seem to get much joy as most want people who are qualified for that sort of thing. i might just give the support groups a try though. if not our next step will be a surrogate mother.

YummyMummy agony auntWhy not try looking up adoption agencies on the internet, and adoption support groups so you can chat to someone about what's going on.
