I know it is short notice but if any one is in the area you might like to join a post adoption evening tomorrow, 7.30-9pm in Born, on Stoke Newington Church Street, N16 (near the Hackney/Islington border of Clissold Park)
This is a regular event, for parents only - a place to meet and share all the ups and downs. There will be refreshments. The arrangement is free. For more details on future and other events see www.facebook.com/Borndirect/events
(the site will be updated regularly)
Hope to can make it.
I've found this kind of arrangements a big gap in the post adoption provision. Yes, there are good courses to attend, and yes there is a good online network, not least with The Adoption Social, but what when you just need a cuppa and a place to spill all the beans - face-to-face?
Tomorrow we are joined by Naomi Stadlen, the psychotherapist and author behind 'What Mothers Do. Especially when it looks like nothing.'
Anyway, here's what I and some other souls have come up with.
