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...

...realising that middlie is hyper-vigilant - took nearly an hour to walk a 20 minute return trip to the shops, as she stopped at every door on the way and asked, "What's that?" "It's a door, Middlie." "What's that?" "It's still a door, Middlie." "What's that?" "It's the same door, Middlie." "What's that?" "It's a, sigh, door, Middlie." "What's that................?"  Although I did have to laugh (not out loud of course!) at one time when she was standing at a door and it opened - she shot down the path back towards me like greased lightning!
