Had a lovely chat with Sarah Geogh this morning! We've been trying to arrange it for a while, but it's tricky for two adoptive Mums to find time between parenting, writing books and all the other chaotic things we have going on! Like me, Sarah has written children's books about adoption, so we had a lot to talk about!

I was interviewed today by Fran at North East Adoption Therapy Services and the interview is on the NEATS YouTube channel at https://youtu.be/ELthhffJUoE I really enjoyed our chat. I'm finding it incredibly rewarding to hear that therapy services such as NEATS are using my books and finding them helpful. ❤️ . @neatsgroup #adoptiontherapist #adoptionsupport #adoptionsupportuk #childtherapist #AdoptionAwarenessMonth #adoption #kinshipcare #fostercare #attachment https://www.instagram.com/p/CkrY4opILdg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Love this new review of my most popular book, 'Delly Duck,' on Amazon. I'll never tire of reading that my books have helped someone to talk to their children about adoption and foster care ❤️ #adoptionawarenessmonth #adoption #adoptionsupportuk #adoptionuk #lgbtadoption #singleadopter #soloadopter #lovemakesafamily #fostering #fostercare #fosterfamily #fostercarer #fosterparent #kinshipcare #kinshipcareweek #specialguardianship #sgo #socialworkers #socialworker #socialwork #socialworktoolkit #storiesthatmatter #senco #sencoresources #sen #inclusion #inclusivebooks #socialworkreadinglist #socialworkresources https://www.instagram.com/p/CjQfibysfRd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A few people have asked me how I do therapeutic life story work with my almost 3 year old son to help him to understand and process his adoption story. A lot of people find it hard to know where to start, or how to pitch the story for a young child. I started talking to my son about adoption a couple of weeks after he moved in. My strategy is to tell the story in simple terms from an early age, adding details gradually as his understanding grows. I'm hoping that it will help him to process things in smaller chunks, as that has helped some of my adopted friends. Obviously I read "Delly Duck: Why A Little Chick Couldn't Stay With His Birth Mother" to my son, but to see more about how I do life story work with my son, check out the recent post on my page at Facebook.com/Hollymarlowauthor (which surprisingly doesn't have the same character limit as Instagram - I can't fit my post here!) or visit https://hollymarlow.com/therapeutic-life-story-work/ I hope it is helpful for some of you! #adoption #adoptionstory #adoptionsupport #adoptionuk #adoptionsupportuk #adoptioncommunity #adoptioncommunityuk #adoptiveparent #adoptionjourney #socialwork #socialworkmatters #socialworker #socialworkersrock #lifestorywork #therapeuticlifestorywork #theraplay #therapeuticparenting #therapeuticparent https://www.instagram.com/p/CeRgh5asf8K/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
