Hello! 

Our son came home and I decided to leave my role as a deputy headteacher in a primary school.  Once we began to settle into our own family routines and our son started nursery, I began to seek how to meet other adopters that would ‘get it' and find a supportive community for us as parents and also for our son as an adopted person. So in May 2022, I became the community group coordinator for Merseyside. As part of this I led monthly virtual meet-ups for the group, so when Adoption UK said they were looking for someone to lead the nationwide virtual community group meet-ups for adoptive parents – I was happy to increase our group remit. 

So here I am the coordinator for the monthly virtual meet-ups for adoptive parents. I have already met so many people who have brought so many different experiences, advice and support for any possible situation you can think of. My meet ups are an opportunity to come and ask questions, seek support, have a moan or just relax around people that ‘get’ it! I’d love for you to join me! There’s no expectation to log on every month or stay on for the whole hour, just come and go where you can/need. So do drop me an email if you have any questions about it.
