SallyDon's Blog

I am Sally. Rob and I adopted our two children from UK Social Services seven years ago. Together we have been through it all and now I am writing and blogging about the realities of raising adopted children. I strive to write honestly and humorously on the small things and the big issues and everything in between. So if anyone has ever said to you 'well all children do that don't they?', you might find something to interest you here ........
