Well worth a follow and a listen if you aren't already ... x.com/nadjasmit/stat…
Ep 16 of the A & F Podcast @gallagherone from the NAFP chats Fostering @gayadoptiondad & I bant #FCF17 #fostering buff.ly/2qGnuAa
Thank you for sharing and kicking off some introductions! Great work :) x.com/kdwaiting/stat…
@SWAdopters @HLMeadows We're in Bristol- adoptive parents to our wonderful 1 year old and @Home4Gd champions.
@kdwaiting @HLMeadows @Home4Gd That's fab. Great to have some introductions too. Thank you!
By the way this concept of South West Adopters Together was initiated by a couple of us just wanting to link folk in the SW together.
@graceponders Hiya - no not a closed page, so not for chatting about confidential stuff, more just for bringing people together if we choose to.
New Facebook page is called ... ... Wait for it ... South West Adopters Oh yes, the originality. The creativity. It's crushing.
If you're an adopter and not already following @AdoptionSocial - well yes I know it's unlikely but just in case, get onto it! x.com/adoptionsocial…
An open letter to all the professionals involved in our family life, In 2009 we adopted 2 children aged 5 and 6... fb.me/2WalaOZkB
Might be of interest to someone? #adoption #education #southwest x.com/bristolgovs/st…
Fabulous conference for all interested in education. Great line up of speakers & ticket incl lunch!InspireSW 2017 bit.ly/2qXnB7k
I think maybe (?) there's now a Facebook Page for us too (and a profile - an overdose of options really). If you can find and like, pls do!
Together we are always stronger. That's why we are the SWAT team. We are South West Adopters Together!
Welcome to our new followers and thank you to our lovely RT-ers :) The SWAT team are up and running. Lovely to meet you all.
If you can gently nudge anyone you know who is an adopter in the SW and get them to follow along we'd be very grateful. Thanking you kindly!
Our aim is simple: a forum for adopters from across the SW (friends welcome too of course, we're nice like that) to meet, greet, chat & 🍫🍷☕️
**Hello World** So ... Who are we? We are the SWAT team! That's who we are! South West Adopters Together Pls Follow & RT us Thank you 😀
