hi any other lesbian mums with adoptive kids out there? I have one DD and thinking about another but wary nonetheless as older and wiser now!

Hi I'm single with one DS but not lesbian, I haven't come across anyone on the adotpion boards that I know is lesbian but then again, we wouldn't necessarily have discussed it! There are a fair few lesbian parents/couples on Mumsnet though if thats any help?

Hi, I'm lesbian and about to start home study. Also have birth daughter. Nice to see you here smile

I would second tigger - newfamilysocial is a great group. Don't know where in the UK you are, but we have meet-ups in central London every couple of months. It's great for the kids to get together with others in the same position.

Thanks for making a link, ScottishMummy - I couldn't do that! The group is arranging things all round the country, so hopefully there would be something near you.

Message

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,

, type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,

, type [grin] or :o
For a wink,

, type [wink]
For a shocked face,

, type [shock]
For an angry face,

, type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,

, type [blush]
For a sad face,

, type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
