What they DON'T tell you on prep groups!

This is a blog of the things we have learned as a new adoptive Mum and Dad to three children under the age of five. For 'Mum' you can read 'Dad' and 'parent'. It is also a record of some of the things no-one told us on the prep groups. Some of it is what children get up to in general and some of it is adoption-specific. Regardless, it should be an interesting read for any parent, prospective and adoptive. Feel free to add your comments, which I shall publish.

Being an adoptive Mum is...

...watching the children in the garden help Daddy move the BBQ from one end of the garden to the other.  When I say 'help' I mean one of them is holding the tape measure, one is holding the spirit level (or rather whacking the other two with it as she turns around!) and the third is holding an empty box - cos there was nothing else for him to hold. Just don't tell him it's empty - he thinks he is doing a very important job!
