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...

...looking back at introductions photos and seeing how much they have grown in eight months.  Then feeling really sad that they are already growing up so fast

Being an adoptive Mum is...

...not being able to publish pictures of your children online in their cute little Halloween outfits or their Christmas gear or when they get ice cream all over their faces....

Being an adoptive Mum is...

...seeing photos of YOUR children on one of the birth family's facebook pages, with them saying how much they love them and miss them - and feeling sick, especially because there is nothing you can do about it.  The photos were taken before they were placed with us and so are not our (intellectual) property.
