A couple of blogroll additions
These are worth a mention here as well I think. I don’t do half as much browsing of blogs etc. as I used to, but there are a couple that I’ve been following recently and are going to get added to my links list.
Nurtured by Love is the first - one I came across via a Suzuki violin email list, but they are also an unschooling family and I love some of the posts about general education. Quite inspirational. Also induces the green-eyed monster in me as I think I would love to live in the Canadian mountains!
Behind the Child is the second. Can’t remember how I found it, I think I’d read an article about a book (When the Bough Breaks) which linked to it. Anyway, it is a blog written by an adoptive and foster mum of special needs children - entertainingly written, and I like it for all sorts of other reasons too, especially now given my sphere of interest at work.
And now I must get up, the open air orchestra concert has been cancelled due to the heavy showers forecast for today, but that means we have a rehearsal as usual …

Haven’t read the book, but I’d definitely read an article that pointed me at Behind the child recently - is the book by the birth mother rather than the adoptive/foster by any chance? I’m sure there was an article all about why she’d given up her child and a roasting by commenters about her perceived selfishness - is that what you read too?
Nurtured by love is wonderful - thanks for the tip.

Yes I think so - that’s why I decided to read the book and blog, to make my own mind up - and got hooked!
