@GayAdoptionDad @BorderlineBBS You’re expecting adoptive parents to be professionals.
We NEVER know what hell this will be til we take these kids on!
No amount of training but fund MUCH MORE SUPPORT!

[Polly @moorebyname]

@GayAdoptionDad We had to jump through hoops and through a shaming process that didn’t support us all as a family. One of the children placed with us was without an attachment assessment and it ruined us all. FFS! Support the WHOLE family and stop expecting adoptive parents to be superheroes.

As September turns it’s page, and the #Harvest is brought in, it seems timely to have a harvest from another world - Furlongs, Eric Ravilious, 1935. It depicts fellow artist Peggy Angus’s cottage near Glynde, in East #Sussex. The original artwork is in a private collection.

@Di_Gilpin The anger and hatred towards us all hads brought 8 out in such bad eczema she’s bleeding. His safety is tenuous. Nothing you can do.

Watching helplessly as 11 falls further away from us and into more loneliness and anger. He rejects all love and care. All his decisions are based on self destruction. #trauma #adoption

So @AdoptionUK if my kids wish to see/ meet their half sibling who has also been adopted, what rights to they have as our social worker tells me we can’t set up a meeting and won’t provide the info.Thank you.

Can people of Leeds help me? I have just now been made redundant, after 12 years in the printing industry. I have a newborn baby and am desperate to get back in to work, no matter what it is. I'm a very quick learner, and would appreciate any help that is given.

[Polly @moorebyname]

@sallydwrites We use these days as punctuation to stop and tell each other our stories, honour the kids BP’s and create space for the grief and anger- we do it the day before to help take the raging compulsion out of it! Important to kill the expectations of these days.

[Polly @moorebyname]

Am saddened all people engaged in this argument are doing so from deep wounds and now everyone’s hurting. This entire argument is now one big wound. More #tolerance please.

@DanielHugill But you’ve engaged in Twitter sharing your joy of ‘baking cakes’ and cleaning even sharing a lighthearted kitsch photo whilst you send your boy into school! It’s heartbreaking you did this boy. Please have more respect for him.

[Polly @moorebyname]

@DanielHugill Why on Earth would you send him to school?
