Year – Random thoughts
https://davegore2005.wordpress.com/2016/12/10/year
All in all it’s been a tough year, I still feel I am coming to terms with our son coming back to live with us back in July, and the subsequent problems after, until he was permanently removed with the decision taken that he wouldn’t live here ever again, even after almost 4 months since he left, and a few social worker meetings, things still seem strange.

Difficulties, me this time. I know in the past this blog has been hard going to read, and thanks to everyone who has read and commented and retweeted it for me, I am very grateful, so to hear about me for a change is going to be a little strange, but even sitting here typing this is helpful to me.

It’s rolled into Christmas morning, half 12, earlier we picked up our son at his girlfriends at gave him a lift into town, then sure enough he called for a lift home, but couldn’t decide where to go, back to his place, or here, decided on here.

Three weeks and struggling. July 24, 2016. Leave a comment on Three weeks and struggling. Our son managed to get himself arrested on Thursday, he happened to be in a house where there was a cannabis growing operation upstairs and the police raided the property, he is insistent that he had nothing to do with it and after being questioned he was released on bail, so the problems start.

A blog about the joys and challenges of being an adoptive family. The Letters Not Sent. May 13, 2016. May 13, 2016. When we first became a family no letterbox contact with birth family was established.It wasn’t in the plan for our son and quite frankly I was relieved. It was one less thing to worry about and. We could just get on with being a family. Three years in and you may be surprised to read that I feel completely the opposite. Until they could meet again in the future. That if the letter arriv...

I bruise easily. – buildingafamilytogether

Building a family through adoption. Adoption Books For Children. May 22, 2015. May 22, 2015. Summer is coming and I normally see this as a good excuse for wearing dresses everyday, however this year I’m not sure I can brave it. My body is covered in bruises from our eldest boy, they are a reminder of the pain my boys go through on a daily basis. My precious boy can be so caring and attentive at times, but he can also really scare me. Over the last few days I have found Twitter and The Adoption Social rea...

Rescue me mummy! – buildingafamilytogether

Building a family through adoption. Adoption Books For Children. July 25, 2015. Having 2 small boys means we have regular viewings of Fireman Sam in our house, so much so that when James (1) gets upset in the car singing the theme tune soothes him (we know all the words). Over the last few weeks he has wanted to be close to us and has been testing the “rescue me” with really small things like getting into our bed (he pretends to fall out when getting in – it’s not that high! Over the last few months we h...

Building a family through adoption. Adoption Books For Children. June 26, 2015. June 26, 2015. We are currently waiting on a diagnosis of Sensory Processing Disorder for our eldest: while we wait for SW, PASW, CAMHS etc to sort themselves out and work out who will assess and potentially treat my boy I turned to the wonderful world of Twitter for advice. As usual the amazing people on there came up with loads of suggestions which make so much sense. Bonding with a baby sling. Lovely post, interestingly (a...

February 1, 2016. 4 Comments on Next steps. To give you some idea of what my wife and myself went through regarding his behaviour over the years, these are without exaggeration some of the things we had to contend with. I don’t know, to get to us? Not sure, for the sake of it? Maybe, we have had him sit on the bonnet of the car outside the house, just to prevent me from going somewhere that didn’t even concern him, again, for what reason, again, no clue.
