After three years, Emma was adopted by a New Zealand family and brought here for a new life - but that didn’t work out how it was supposed to. Emma was diagnosed with foetal alcohol syndrome and reactive attachment disorder. Parenting her became a nightmare, and it ended in tragedy.
Emma has faced more challenges and rejections than most people could cope with. And now, she wants to take on the biggest challenge of her life - finding answers to those most fundamental questions: who am I? Where did I come from?

We are a smoke-free and pet-free home.

Simply wash down with Resene Timber and Deck Wash then finish with the Resene Woodsman range of wood stains. Choose from a wide range of colours, from traditional wood stains to a beachy whitewashed finish. Or go for the natural look with Resene Furniture and Decking Oil.
If you’re planning on a dark colour, remember to choose a Resene CoolColour version of your colour. This will help to reflect more heat to keep your deck and furniture cooler and more comfortable to walk or sit on.
Visit your local Resene ColorShop and see the huge range of options on their woodcare stand to help you bring out the best in your home.

Have you seen our cat?
Our beloved cat has now been missing for over a week. This is very out of character. Last seen morning of Thursday 5 November (Guy Fawkes day) by our neighbours in Goldsborough Ave.
We are almost certain that he is hiding in someone’s shed or garage.
His name is Chinggu but he answers to a high pitched “puss puss”. He is microchipped and registered on the NZ animal register.
Please check your sheds, garages and other out-buildings.
We are now offering a $500 reward to anyone who can present him to us.
Please call Monica on 021 290 0034 if you find him.
Thanks very much
