Finding Our Feet: The Adoption Journal

In this episode Mr and Mrs K give an update on the adoption process whilst also finding time to discuss all the craziness of parenting! (This episode was recorded in British Summer Time but released in Autumn so please forgive Mr K for his anti autumn decoration rant!)

We are back! This episode has been a long time in coming (and editing) but we have got an update for you all! We speak about the highs, and the lows, of the last few months, the first Christmas with Baby K, and whether we should see more people treading in dog poo on Instagram.

On this episode we speak in hushed tones as placement day is upon and suddenly keeping a child asleep is the most important thing in life! Mrs K speaks openly about the challenges she has faced since Placement Day, we give our first hand advice to prospective adopters and reflect on the despairing pit that is kids TV!

On this episode we conclude our reflection on the first week of Transitions and our hopes for next week. We discuss why transition week is so tiring, top tips to make it easier and what our highlights have been from week one!

Transitions Day 5 and our first trip out without the foster carer! We talk about how this went, the frustrations of public shopping centres and the joy of successfully getting your child to sleep!

Transitions Day 4 and we are starting to feel tired (mostly Mrs K). We continue to talk about our developing relationship with Baby K, the difficulties of sleeping with a firm pillow and the complex and quite frankly ridiculous politics of soft play centres.
