Ever changing, ever learning

The first few years of my daughters life was a learning curve. I had spent so many years working I had few friends with children and certainly none in similar situations. The health centre ran information sessions for new mums and they put me into one of those groups. While I had hopes of it providing me with some friendships I held no illusions that it may well not happen. My daughter was the only girl and the only adoptee.

Got all that at home too, part & parcel of a large family perhaps. I had residual issues from the teasing I copped over the years
