Hi, I'm Nyree, an adoptive mum/mom to two fabulous sibling boys. We were first their foster parents for 6 years & then adopted them over 4 years ago. I also have 5 adult biological children. This is a channel where you can find information about parenting fostered and adopted children, useful resources, and information about childhood trauma.

Please contact me via my email if you would like to have a one-to-one consultation through a video call. Adoption or fostering agencies can also request consultations or bespoke training. Price on request.
