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...

...very difficult when you have to behave consistently with all three children, when you don't like one of them very much and you don't want to give them a kiss and a hug.  But you HAVE to do it and make it not look fake.  Remembering to make sure they are not the last one to be kissed.  Constantly trying to see it from their point of view and working out if they can see you faking it.  It's very draining.
