You are part of this community and we would love to hear how it is going for you. The more of us who say what it is really like, the easier it gets for the adopters who come after us.
Submit a post
Share your experience of any part of adopting so far: applying, matching, moving in, parenting, or something that does not fit a box.
Submit a review
Tell us about a book, film, TV series, podcast or training course that helped, or did not.
How we handle it
- Keep it anonymous. Change names and use a pen name yourself, to protect little identities.
- Do not hold back. This is the place for the things you keep from your social worker, your friends and your family.
- No comments. People can read and share your post but not reply to it. Adopters get more than enough unwanted opinion as it is.
- The more the merrier. Post as often as you like. The more you share, the more people you help.
We read every submission, tidy the spelling if you want us to, and publish it under the name you choose.
