--Episode 3 in the podcast series: An Adoption Story, takes us from our marriage in South Africa, to immigration to the UK via a stint in China, and the formulation and successful attainment of the 4 requirements in 'The Grand Plan'... created by yours truly! Having ticked all of the boxes, were we finally ready to embark on our Adoption Journey? Were we even still on the same page? Was my dream of becoming a mom and having a family of our own, about to come crashing down around us, after all the years of effort? I spent many hours, days and months in sadness over this period of my life. It's really hard when you feel ready to have a family in your early 30's and are forced to wait it out. And then just when you feel you have all your ducks in a row, your husband throws a cat amongst the pidgeons.
