This is a podcast all about our adoption journey, the highs, the lows and the bits in between. I will share our experiences and discuss general life as well as specifics. In time I will look to answer questions and support other adopters.

Life story book research
I have been hearing a lot of rumblings from the adoption community about the lifestory books and some of the recent changes. So I decided to delve into it and see if I could find out what adopters experiences of the books were, my research didn't find great stories sadly.
Do you have any suggestions on how we could improve them?

Attachment relationships
Little dude was in a “relationship” that ended, he then showed all of the signs of his attachment style as that relationship came to an end.
But I did get to see him for dinner, which made me a super happy guy! -
Some updates
The new adopter group is launching in London, I have been asked to be a mentor and the Little Dude called for chat. It's all going on this week and I wanted to share as much with you as I could.
As always, thank you so much for listening, please feel free to reach out on adoptionadventures123@gmail.com if you have a topic you would like me to cover. -
Back for the weekend
The little dude was back for the weekend and sharing all of his own adventures! It sounds like he is having a great time, have a listen and see at if there is any part of the stereotype that he doesn’t fit!!!

Profiling event
I was asked to attend a profiling event and speak with the prospective adopters about our journey and our experiences of contact, throughout the day however, I did have a few moments that caught my eye and sadly...caused some frustrations. In today's episode, I am having a little moan...sorry!

Early Permanence and Contact conference
I attended the EP and Modernising Contact conference with my RAA, there were some great guest speakers and some very interesting discussions, so I thought I would share them all with you!!! :-)

Adopting a 7 year old
I’m finding this podcast very helpful. I am in the process of adopting a 7 year old boy. Rich gives an honest account on his journey with little dude. You sound like the best dads. Thank you so much for all the advice you have given to me via Instagram recently. Keep doing what you’re doing. X

10 hour day
The 10 hour day pod cast was so powerful to listen to. I’ve sent the link to everyone I know going through adoption. We are nearing panel and everything you discuss is so relevant.
Also podcasts with your son on are fab! You clearly have a fantastic connection . Wonderful to hear. Thank you for sharing
