Adoption
Hi everyone, my partner and I are looking to connect with people who have an adoption story to share. My partner was adopted and has met his birth family and have known them for many years now. We would love to hear from other people who have any experience with adoption, good or bad. Maybe you were adopted, or you adopted someone or you had to put a child up for adoption, whatever your story, we would love to hear from you. No judgement, just support and friendship. To share our stories and experiences, offer advice if wanted and just be a support, should you be wanting to find your birth family or not or maybe you already have. Each story is unique, some good and some not so good. Sometimes it is just nice to be able to talk about things with someone who understands. We welcome you to share your story and would be happy to hear from you. You can respond here or if you prefer, please feel free to private message us. 😊

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
