Adoption at its lowest for 10 years

This morning I woke up to a lovely email from someone I don’t know. The title “Thank you”, and following from that: “I just finished reading your fabulous book Mexican Takeaway. It’s given my husband and me so much more to hope for. We started the process of adopting three years ago. However, we found the system here in the UK everything you have described, so had...

My meeting with Oona King

I have spent a whirlwind summer and actively been meeting interesting and influential people to support my campaign on much needed adoption reforms in the UK -  and have even appeared on television. It’s been a very productive summer, and I shall now begin updating  you with some of my exciting news. A few weeks ago I met one of the most inspirational mothers ever. Baroness King of Bow,...

Martin Narey, the adoption czar

It’s been a week of significant moments, and not just for me. I am delighted to see that Martin Narey, a man who has displayed an unswerving commitment to highlighting children’s issues and campaigning, has been appointed as  the government’s adoption czar. There has been much talk about children in care this year and while I have felt positive, I have never been completely convinced. The news...

Now, I am Italian, and grew up in the madness that is Italy.  Sometimes, however, I still forget how they do things over there. We’d booked an agriturismo, where our international guests could...

My Mexican Takeaway party!

Saturday my book, Mexican Takeaway came to life. It has been in physical existence for a few months now with lots of high profile media coverage. However it needed a proper blessing, from all the people – family, friends, colleagues past and present – who have supported not just the book but the cause of Adoption With Humanity. I had been stressed about it. I had cried and lost sleep over it,...

Thanks to Best for the correction

I would like to say a big thank you to Jackie Hatton, editor of Best magazine, for listening to my concerns about the headline used on the story about how my husband and I adopted two babies in Mexico.  This week her magazine printed an apology. “We bought our dream family,” was not exactly what I expected to see at the top of the page. A big part of my belief about adoption is that children...
