‘We had told Daisy that she was going to spend the late afternoon with Tommy right up until his bedtime at the foster carer’s. What actually happened was that Daisy sat and watched as the foster carer’s son territorially guarded what Daisy had been led to believe by everyone else was her new baby brother.’
This is the real life story of how six-year-old Daisy and her parents adopted Tom. Although written by her mother, it is really Daisy’s adoption story.
Honest and accessible, When Daisy met Tommy charts the joys and frustrations of the adoption process for Daisy as well as her parents’ determination to protect their daughter from what at times seems a testing, yet ultimately rewarding, journey.
Throughout this humorous and poignant account, Daisy’s thoughts and feelings about the family’s decision to adopt Tom, and her perspective on the adoption process, are brought vividly to life.
When Daisy met Tommy
will be of particular interest to adoptive parents, prospective adopters, social workers and childcare professionals.
