Nell Carpenter

Bringing home an eight year old and a three year old with their own little personalities having come from a lifetime of trauma, chaos and disruption and trying to merge as a brand new family has been the most terrifying yet best thing that has ever happened to me. Join me on our journey as I share the reality of the adoption process, including the highs and lows, the grim and the beautiful and the magic of forming attachments. I don't want to glamorise our experience. It has been really tough; it has changed me as a person. But they do say smooth seas do not make skilful sailors...
