Scottish Mum Blog - Writing from Aberdeen
Walking in the rain, or blogging in the snow. On the path to enlightenment, wear comfy shoes.
My boys are fine for pictures of the early days of their adoption going online. I don’t mind as they are completely unrecognisable now and they love to look through some of them. I will always regret not having a decent camera when they were little and always being so busy that I rarely found [...]
I saved one of the nicer parts of adoption to this week for a very special reason. The official adoption week focussed on the negatives but for our family we had a fabulous adoption week. I received a phone call last week from a woman who is the adoptive parent of one of my boys [...]

Brit Mums have had a facelift. Formerly known as British Mummy Bloggers, they have updated and extended the facilities they have on the get together site for those of us who live and breathe in the blogosphere. I have set up a new group on Brit Mums for bloggers who have an interest [...]
