It's been a good week!

There has been some really nice things happening within the adoption adventures world and I thought I would take the time to tell you all about it. There are some updates from our lives and others too. I am looking for some new guests to join me and share their experiences of being an early permanence adopter, let me know if you would like to share your experience.

Sitting, Waiting, Wishing

I heard from David, he told me that they had registered interest in a child and now had to wait to be considered, he asked if we could put an episode together to help other adopters going through the same. So, I invited him on to the show to have a chat and tell their story. We both hope that their story helps you with yours...

The stigma of our own story

It is so common to be asked about your journey to becoming a parent and so often people will unwittingly delve into some very difficult areas for us as individuals. We are pressured into becoming parents in the 'normal' way and so often this leads to all kinds of stigma and indeed some anger. I decided to have a chat about that this week, I only hope that together we can help to change the narrative.

Our children's stories

I have been thinking about this episode for a long while now and how best to approach the subject. 

 

Our children have a story, we can't deny it and we can't ignore it. But who should we share it with? Who owns the rights to that story?

Regression

I was speaking with someone that had some worries over adopting an older child and some of the things that they would miss, so I thought that I would share my views with you all. Hope you enjoy!
