[MissFenella]

Is it usual/typical for letters from parents to include 'when you are 18 and we meet again....' type stuff.

Letter from birth mum included a few 'wonderful future together' type references.

Putting aside the heart crushing 'she thinks I am babysitting' element (because that is about me not the girls) how would you couch the tone to your children?

what a load of utter tripe has been spouted on this thread.

Me too

Sorry MissFenella......

No you can't count the points for siblings AND double them, you can however add the points for each child then add your sibling points.

Great! thanks Kew.
Sirspamalot what company car have you gone for?

All a bit redundant if you don't actually get onto the scoreboard. Do I get anything at all for playing?

I've got a bc too. What kind of monster adopts an easy to place baby as a little sibling?

Won't SOMEBODY think of the children?

I agree that adopting siblings should be squared. But only if you do it at the same time. If they come separately it's only doubled. Unless you get them on a BOGOF offer

Lose a point if you got them with a Group On voucher

What about if they are Black or Orphans ? Does social orphans count ? I think We agreed we get extra for post institutionalised?

Can I just check - you only get points if you actually adopt them ?

Sponsoring them in an institution overseas then visiting them once a year doesn't count , right ? I'm just checking , in case there is any confusion

oh I am not worried about the derailment - the tripe coming from what appears to be a single poster with a false ginger beard and Groucho Marx glasses on is both tedious and hilarious in equal measure.

I am just trying t work out my points but think I am a 10

oh no I am more because of sibs together

Did you use any coupons, vouchers or offers ? Or buy in the sale ?

I don;t think so Stacey it has to be the real deal though judging by some comments over the years I get a big fat -100 for adopting intercountry to get a perfect healthy baby!

I got mine to match the wallpaper - but we are going to redecorate so may have to dye their hair to suit.

Ok how do you write in bold?

It's a secret you have to have been on MN at least 5 years to find out. If I told you 'd have to shoot you.

Once you've been on six year you get to cross out too

Seventh anniversary is particularly exciting

And for your Tenth anniversary you get to whisper as well or I might be lying if you look at emphasis at the bottom of the screen

I've seen the emphasis but being an adopter I'm obvs really really old and don't know how to do stuff on the iPad, and having baby brain and being too exhausted from trying to square +10 plus sib points whilst debating please don't play with the tomato sauce bottle with a very sensitive 4 year old. Please can someone just tell me. ????

Oh. I might have just read it again Kew
How did I ever get approved for adoption????

I used to know how to do a completely blank response.

It was the finest thing
