Adopting Solo: The Story of How I Learnt to Parent My Munchkin

by Sarah Fisher

In Adopting Solo, Sarah Fisher recounts of her journey as a single adopter, from the day she met her son, through new schools, violence and end-of-her-tether calls to Social Services, to healing, heartfelt family occasions and hope.

Hers is a story that dares to talk about the realities of adopting solo from a parent's point of view, explaining the lows, the doubts, the times she thought she couldn't do it, as well as the highs, the wins, and the breakthroughs of how she learnt to be a mum to her adoptive son.

To say it's been a rollercoaster ride doesn't even cover it. More like behavioural bumper cars! Did the joys of seeing her son flourish make it worth it, despite all the bruises along the way?

A must-read for all single adopters and anyone wanting to support loved ones as they embark on their journey of adopting solo.

What a great read for those who want to adopt. After years of having this book I had finally read it. I had met Sarah years ago where I did the NVR course with her. She was fab and the approach helped me with my son.

Inspirational

I definitely needed to read a book like this. It is an inspirational book and I am glad to hear I am not the only one going through this.
