Some were good, healthy places and others were the type that you read about in the papers today. I remember not really understanding what that meant.
When you have been passed around a lot as a child, you just think it’s another move into another home. We met them a few times and eventually began to spend weekends and weeks with them.Įventually we moved in with them, and their two cats. It wasn’t easy, as we both came with a lot of emotional baggage, but our new parents worked extremely hard to ensure that we spoke about our past and were a very open family with the best chance in life we could have. We were given a second chance, but my birth mum and birth dad were always in my mind.
Younger life then began to settle into holidays, days out and the ‘normal’ family life. I began to make friends at school and felt settled in my life.
