Friday, 29 August 2014. Words are like toothpaste once they're out you can’t get them back in. Clearly the topic of stupid things to say to adopters. Is a rich seam, mined at depth across the internet. All adopters have their own list of pet hates and anthologies of stupid things that have been said to them. However, I will throw a recent question that I've been asked into the fray. After getting to know someone eventually the topic gets round to children and inevitably adoption. 8220;Wow, six children?

Thursday, 26 February 2015. There appears to be a determined and almost immovable halo around adoption. Believe me I've tried to knock it off and I've tried to present my own lived adoption experience as relatively normal but I see the same enthusiastic determination in the eyes of prospective adopters that I had in mine. Aaaaaah, adoption. In social circles eyes well up and hearts swell with sympathy at the revelation of my children's status as adopted. Aaaw, look they're fighting. Aaaaaah, Adoption.

Friday, 31 July 2015. Sometimes I imagine casting off the shackles of ‘therapeutic parenting’. My ‘no’ being a ‘no’ and my ‘yes’ a ‘yes’. No dancing with words around delicate issues. No emergency self care. No fear, anxiety and pain wrapped up in angry words and actions to tidy up. No pre-emptive discussions with school, coaches, family, doctors, SWs and friends. No pre event and post event debriefs. No protracted and unending negotiations. I’m pretty sure that the kids feel the same. Our second reason ...

Wednesday, 28 January 2015. Stuck in the middle with you. I understand that normal is a relative term and we all classify things, people and experiences as 'normal' based on our own knowledge and experience. Clearly, it represents a spectrum of experience and perspective. In many parts of the known universe if you drop something on my toe it would be 'normal' to say sorry and I'd say it's fine. However, in my little corner of the universe things run to a different 'normal' order. Living at the intersecti...

Wednesday, 29 October 2014. Lotty saw me across the crowded rail station, shouted ‘Daaaadddyyyy’ at the top of her voice and sprinted across the expansive arrivals hall. Six feet before she reached me she left the ground and propelled herself into my waiting arms that enclosed her around into a spinning embrace. Not a heart that witnessed this reunion could remain unmoved. The scene from the railway children loomed large. Lotty hadn’t seen me since breakfast that day. There was no contract with my childr...

Living on the edge of the world: Hunger
http://livingworldsedge.blogspot.com/2016/12/hunger-my-first-week-in-home.html
Friday, 23 December 2016. My first week in the Home. A medical is what the young nurse says. No choice. I can remember the nurse weighing me. Just a point on a chart. My point so low. 8220;You must eat more” the nurse said – like an echo of what she said to Eve. Eat more? Sometimes, in my former world, to eat at all was just a hope. A hope that perhaps this weekend I would have a breakfast, lunch and tea. “No lunch for you, you wicked girl and no tea for answering back.”. No chance for Ella! It's all gon...
Suddenly Mummy: June 2015
http://suddenlymummy.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 25, 2015. I haven't been blogging much recently. This is mainly due to the arrival of Twinkle who, while lovely in many ways, brings our family to a level of 'interesting' that means that there isn't much time or brain space left over for other things! Twinkle is the 7th child I've fostered, but she is the first girl I've had who wasn't a tiny baby. I have discovered that in some ways, little girls really are different from little boys. It's been quite the steep learning curve:. Up to this...
Suddenly Mummy: Breaking News (Again)
http://suddenlymummy.blogspot.com/2015/07/breaking-news-again.html
Sunday, July 12, 2015. It was a little over three years ago that I announced to the world that " At a recent court date, the judge decided to implement the local authority's latest care plan for OB, namely that he be adopted and I should be the one to adopt him. You can read the rest of that announcement here. Before you do that, first read the rest of this announcement:. Yes, you read that right! July 13, 2015 at 6:42 PM. Hope it all goes smoothly :o).

The life of the Lindseys. Fun, joy, laughter, creativity, tears, cooking, baking, diy, camping, friends, God, lego all over the floor, weeds taking over the allotment, trying to remember that happiness is an inside job.just the usual jizz jazz of life.

Things that were broken - Sally Donovan
http://www.sallydonovan.co.uk/2016/05/15/things-that-were-broken
Things that were broken. The outbreak of peace in our house continues. It’s brilliant. That’s the thing, when life has been so relentlessly crap for so long, it just needs to be less crap for a few weeks and everything is a complete joy. Living in a state of near hysterical joy (for one never knows when it will end) means that things get done as there is at last time and head space to tackle Mount Must Do. On the Must Do list for this week was:. FIX LAWNMOWER: broken for six months, state of lawn = dire.
Living on the edge of the world: April 2016
http://livingworldsedge.blogspot.com/2016_04_01_archive.html
Friday, 29 April 2016. Cats - but not the famous musical! In December 2014 I wrote. Regular readers will know the story of our two refuge cats Romulus and Remus. They did everything together and it was somehow fitting that fate had brought them into our lives. So it is with great sadness I have to tell your all that Romulus died of old-age last Thursday and that Remus was put to sleep by the vet this morning. At the moment the cats' bed is still where it has always been. Perhaps at the weekend we wil...

Thursday, 27 August 2015. Children in Care and their memory gaps. It was while she was pregnant that Ella started to get concerned about a small, highly specific, memory loss. In the end she went to the doctor with a list of questions. Is it normal to have gaps in your memory? The time from being taken away from Mr Nut Job to meeting Eve in the Home is very bitty in my head. Eve calls it a jigsaw puzzle with pieces missing! Lots of questions, some that I didn't understand. The doctor wasn’t much he...

Friday, 29 July 2016. Eve and Ella praised as "influential figures"! I suppose we should both be flattered at being labelled as "influential". Particularly when the comment was made by somebody who has a lifetime of academic and practical experience in the twin areas of fostering teenagers and in the senior management of Children's Homes. If only it were true! Can you imagine a major retail outlet that has no interest in the views of the customers? Even Governments are called to account every five years ...

Friday, 29 January 2016. Lost and found - a January project! During the long and rather boring weeks after Christmas and the New Year Ella and I made a real effort to track down some former friends who we hadn't heard from for at least six months. We had three successes and one failure. Was a former subscriber to the Adoption and Fostering in the UK forum. And that is where we first met him. His own parents had been long-term foster parents. For a while because her final teen has been moved onwards and u...

The misadventures of an adoptive dad
The misadventures of an adoptive dad. My Adoption Survival Guide. Thursday, 13 August 2015. Firstly, this is a blog about a cat. Any metaphorical coincidence is exactly that. We have a cat that is convinced that I’m a cat killer. I am not, but it’s over five years since our cat, Kitty, witnessed an incident that convinced her that I killed her best friend Izzy the cat. Once again for the record I did not. The girls took it well. After a brief pause Lotty looked me in the eye and asked ‘can we play ...
