Ah, isn't this gorgeous? Four daughters and one son who were adopted write open letters of thanks and adoration to the mums who adopted them and helped shape their lives for the better. I love adoption - it is not easy but it is incredible and these five families are testament to the rewards. Out now in Take A Break.

Someone to believe in her - Bella

This beautiful story, out in Woman's Own, tells the story of how Cathy came to adopt Sinead, a poorly little lady who needed someone to believe in her. Sinead has Down's syndrome and was left pretty much alone for the first few months of her life. No cuddles, no love, no hope... until Cathy came along, fell madly in love, and gave Sinead the love, care and attention she deserved.
