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...

...putting the children in the most awful clothes that their birth parents bought for them and willing them to put on a sudden growth spurt, because the second they grow out of them they are going straight to the charity shop - in fact I might just burn them!  The clothes not the kids!  (We are keeping one outfit each for their memory boxes.)  Of course, you can't just buy them a whole new wardrobe the day they move in, apart from the sizeable cost, they need the safety and comfort of things they know - even if 'Essex Girl' wouldn't be seen dead in them.  God, they look so chavvy lol
