@jayandaitch @suddenly_mummy Here too. 6yo has had to go to sleep in our bed because of the wind, then goes back to hers at our bedtime.

Call from school. 6yo has been pulling teachers' hair, throwing things, etc. Again. Feel sick. Nothing seems to be helping her.

Therapist didn't turn up for 6yo's first session, prompting series of incidents culminating in throwing chair at TA and me collecting her...

...early from school. On way home she listed several potential suicide methods. SHE IS SIX! And still we have no CAMHS help. :( #angry

Adopt child/ren from state. Have to give up job to care. Lose child benefit. Pay for own support. Give free advice to state #winwinsituation

School: 6yo can only go to football club if we accompany her because it's run by volunteers (and she has behavioural issues). Thoughts?

All I asked was whether she had washed her hands for dinner (in rhetorical go-and-do-it way). Why do they lie about stupid things? Aaarrrgh.

Watching #locationlocationlocation. He's a doctor, she's an NHS manager, and they 'don't know' how they're having 3 kids so soon... Huh?

.@TheOpenNest Our experience is mixed. I know providing training for churches in supporting adoptive families is on Home for Good's agenda.
