My parents have always wanted to adopt a child. I was there only child because my mum could no longer have children after me due to having Cancer but my parents always wanted a big family and they always thought adoption was something really great to do so it's also extremely rewarding to take a underprivileged children and give them a loving family and home.
I'm all grown up now and I have a daughter of my own who is 3 years old. My parents live her and are always taking care of her and I think it made them full in love with looking after children again.
It's been a long process but they are finally looking at adopting two twin boys who are 10 years old. The boys have came from a very troubled home life and all I can really say is they are from the traveling community and don't really understand normal ways of the world.
I'm not saying all travellers are bad people by saying this but they have been raised to believe being bad is a good thing and I worry for the safety of my little girl around them.
They had a visit one time at my parents and they were looking after my daughter whilst I was at work. When I picked her up her teddy had it's head ripped off and they boys just thought it was funny. When I took her home and got her ready for bath time I noticed she had little nail marks in the back of her neck I was so worried I started to cry and panic.
My husband was fuming when I told him everything and I called my parents and they told me it was just boys play around and it went to far when her teddies head got ripped off and the nail marks were probably her own. They told me I don't understand as these boys have had hard lifes and we need to be more understanding. I got a horrible gut feeling why would my 3 year old do that to herself and they were no 3 year old girls nail marks.
