  • Look after yourself
    IT's a really tough time out there at the moment and it is not always easy to remember to make time for yourself. I have been reflecting this week on how things have been for us and how some times things can get really tough, so we need to just give ourselves a break and make time for ourselves.

  • Starchild
    A very happy new year one and all! 
     
    Last year we caught up with Michaela Foster Marsh, she grew up with her brother who was adopted. They were very close in age, but came from different ethnic backgrounds. We got to speak about their experiences and how Michaela went searching for her brothers first family years' later.

  • Christmas
    As Christmas fast approaches, I thought it would be good to talk about how Christmas can look for our little ones and what we can do to help them during a rather strange time. 
     
    From all of us at Adoption Adventures, we want to wish you the very best of Christmas's.

  • Single male adopters Pt 1

    Who can adopt? I think that it is a massive question and loads of people think that their circumstances will stop them from adopting. I have not met many single male adopters and I wondered if it was because the message was not getting out there that single men can adopt too! So, we went searching for some single male adopters from our audience, we were really lucky to have 2 single dads offer to speak with us. This week we are chatting with Tom, we are speaking about his journey to adoption and the support network around him. 

     

    Massive thank you to Tom for joining us this week and sharing his story.

  • Deceit

    One of my 'triggers' is sneaky behaviour, I have always struggled with lies. I know that it happens, I know that we are all guilty of telling lies every single day. But, when Little Dude does it, it bothers me! In today's episode, I am sharing some recent experiences that we have had and talking about what I have learned from it. If this is something that you have experienced then please share your story. Or perhaps you have a different trigger and you would like to share it with us to see if the community can help.

  • Voluntary Agencies

    We are asked a lot about Voluntary Agencies and how they are different from the Local Authority agencies. It is something that we didn't know much about, so we found an amazing guest to join us. We spoke with Terry Fitzpatrick from ARC Adoption NE, he told us all about Voluntary Agencies and answered some listener questions too.
