Nickey and Tony, Angelina, Zoe, and Tristan and Scott mention background
Has your adopted child started to question his/her identity?
“They’ve had a past life, they want to talk about their birth parents, and their families, and what they had for Christmas or where they went to see fireworks, or what school they went to. You can’t just cut that off.”
Did you always know you were adopted?
“they’d explain how I’d come to them and it was, like, a choice that they’d have me”
Have you found out what your cultural heritage is?
“when I met them I found out that my Mum is from Singapore and my Dad is English”
What is the hardest thing about adopting?
“...you are always told – don’t over-compensate for their past but it is always in the back of your mind that they have been through such difficult times, that now when they fall on hard times you try and soften it a little bit for them.”
