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...
...having a typical 30 minutes multi-tasking in the afternoon: keeping an eye on the children, refereeing squabbles, changing nappies, writing shopping lists, supervising loo trips, talking to social workers, confiscating toys - all whilst cooking the tea!
Being an adoptive Mum is...
...having to change a nappy five times before 9.30am - and that's just ONE child!
Being an adoptive Mum is...
...remembering not to check for a dirty nappy by pulling at the middle part of the nappy, as you can just guarantee that it's 'spread' upwards and there goes your fingers, right in it!
