CH. 3 – First Meeting With a Social Worker

It was the day Anita was visiting and to say we were nervous was an understatement! The house had never been so spotless.. even the fridge had been cleaned.. because clearly she was going to inspect it right? When I compare that first meeting to how we are now when social workers visit it makes me chuckle! Nowadays I can just about put a comb through my hair and run the hoover round and toys will usually be strewn across living room floor! It’s almost like we want the house to look “lived in” now rather than perfectly clean and tidy.

TV SHOWS FEATURING ADOPTION AND FOSTERING

Before adopting and even to this day I am always on the look out for TV shows that talk about or feature adoption/fostering. So much so that I push them on my friends and family to watch too! I love how some shows (if done well) can give our support network an insight of how we live on a day to day basis.
