Monty's Blog

Welcome to my blog. I am a married adoptive dad with two children adopted through our council. Daisy, placed with us in 2005 has learning difficulties and autistic spectrum disorder – but at the same time is a wonderful little girl with a lovely ‘light’ personality. Rosie was 8 months when she came to us in 2007 and has less obvious challenges; however she experienced trauma before becoming part of our family. She is also wonderful and full of life.
