Becoming a parent via adoption is a rollercoaster of emotions.
It’s wonderful, challenging, beautiful, brutal and a whole range of other things. It’s a unique journey and one that’s often difficult to share with parents who have birth children.
When our eldest daughter came home, I felt like a total imposter in the parent and child clubs we went to.
I felt like everyone knew what they were doing, and I stuck out like a sore thumb because I’d only met my daughter a few months before.
I felt isolated and alone and was desperate to talk to people who just got it.
That’s one of the reasons why I started the magazine. It’s a safe space for anyone who wants to share their experience of adoption.
The good and the bad.
Wish Adopters Club is the next step.
It’s a safe, online space where adopters can connect with others and chat, let off steam, and support each other, without feeling judged or alone.
It’s something I wish had been around when we brought both our girls home.
The Club will consist of monthly chat sessions via Zoom, and a monthly session with an expert covering a range of topics from parenting to wellbeing and self-care.
There’s a small monthly fee, which will help to cover the cost of running the platform. Having to pay to join will also help to make sure only those who want to connect with and support other adopters will join.
If you’re an adopter and would like to join, comment Club” and I’ll send you the details, or click on the link in my bio.
