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. 😊

Kmart duvet recall
Kmart will be recalling a number of their Anko duvet sets.
What you need to know:
- The recall is involving Christmas-themed duvets: Mrs & Mrs Claus Reversible Queen Size Bed Quilt Cover Set and Christmas Elf Reversible Single Bed Quilt Cover Set
- A recall of the products began in Australia following health concerns from several families.
- One woman said she thought she was having a heart attack after using one of the products which smelt of diesel.
- One customer said she’d purchased the quilt covers and said they smelled like gas. Another mum said hers did not have that smell but claimed her son developed a rash that only went away when he stopped using the product.
- The product is no longer available for purchase on the Kmart website.
Regardless of whether you have experienced an issue, customers who have purchased this item may return the product to store for a refund.
