PREPARING FOR SCHOOL DIARY #1 | EDUCATION AND ADOPTED CHILDREN | UK ADOPTION | mollymamaadopt
It's no secret that education is a KEY topic and issue spoken about in the adoption community at the moment. We are only at the start of our preparing for school journey for little man and we're already facing challenges and barriers. I'll be filming little diary snippets as we continue to prepare little man for pre-school and am keen to share our journey.

Hi everyone!
I hope you're well. This week's topic is finding childcare for your child who is adopted and why it's important to find a nursery or childminder that will work with you to support your child/children.
