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...
...becoming a different person: you are not just a friend, daughter, sister or wife; suddenly you are someone's Mummy. People come to know you as and call you "Midge's Mummy" rather than "Mary." :D
