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.

I'm sure I made a cup of tea, where is it?  9.00pm Tidying up, under the newspaper on the side in the lounge, you find... a cold cup of tea, how many days has that one been sitting there? lol
