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...

 ...reading on a fellow (prospective) adopter's blog "That 7 years of infertility teaching you patience isn't enough... you can never be patient enough. I thought I'd learnt this, but apparently not."  And then you realise that is EXACTLY the same as you, even down to the number of years.

    ....having to talk in code or spell certain words out if you try (and try is the operative word) to have a conversation with your husband or another adult within earshot of your little ones

    ....having to write in code on your family calendar so that the inquisitive little things don't nose into every single thing you are doing that month!!

    currently none of them can read, the oldest one is learning so it wont be long until your second comment will be relevant to us. your first comment is extremely relevant! we talk in code a LOT! it is good that the pair of us can spell properly, although sometimes i get myself in a right muddle lol.

    thanks for the comments :) xx
