DS's adoption in the UK was very delayed and as a result have been with me nearly three years by the time he was legally adopted in the UK. He has been with me since 11 months and I'm the only parent he has ever known.
His guardian ad litem said to me after visiting (she knew how long he'd been here and tbh you couldn;t have missed it cos there are photos of us with him as a baby all over the living room!) - "Oh you really are very good with him".
I was slightly startled at the time and its nagged at me ever since.
I know she meant well and I didn't exactly take offence, but am I alone in thinking it an odd comment from an experienced adoption social worker to someone who has been a parent to a child for 3 years.
