My name is Carole, 40, husband, 37. We have been married for 12 happy years. I am now a SAHM to our gorgeous daughter and my days are now filled up with trying to find cafes that sell babyccinos (she's obsessed with them - like mother like daughter ;o).

I am a qualified Holistic Therapist but no longer practise and I was a Project Manager before I because a SAHM.

I found Babyworld sometime in 1998, and used to moderate the Trying For A Baby Forum. We had been trying for a baby since 1997 and had tried everything, including, giving up my job; expensive holidays; reflexology; acupuncture; spiritual healing; meditation; 'giving up', which is when I re-trained as a Holistic Therapist . When all that didn't work, I turned to conventional medicine (1 IVF and 1 FET), which didn't work either.

The emotional roller coaster over the years was unbearable at times, but we came through it with the help of the Infertility Forum and a positive outlook in life. This is what helped us think that everything happens for a reason, so at the end of 2004, we decided to start the adoption process, and as a result, I now moderate the Adoption & Fostering Forum.

We were invited onto the Prep Course in June 2005, and started our Home Study shortly after. We were approved at panel in April 2006 and after a 6 month wait, we were matched with our daughter in October (now 2). She was home by Christmas and we are now revelling in the normality of being a family of 3. We couldn't be happier and she was most definitely a perfect match for us. She is the answer to all of our questions starting with "why"… now we know.

I also manage the Regional Forums… so please do come along and make some friends and find out what is going on in your area.

Finally, I moderate the FAO Forum as well... so if you need to ask a member a question about anything, that's the place to leave a post...!!!

Happy posting, I hope you find what you are looking for here on Babyworld.....!!
