About Rosie
This is an extract from a conversation between a Social Worker and Rosie’s biological grandmother:
Grandmother: Rosie has been with Jim and Sophie for a year now, hasn’t it gone quickly? Her best friends are Katie and Fara, and Bertie the Labradoodle. As a family they totally adore each other, like they have always been together. Rosie will start school in September; Katie will start at the same time, Fara not until January.
Sophie has been back to work after her adoption leave for a few weeks now, they have had a couple of hiccups with Rosie feeling insecure at the child minders initially, but it’s going better now. It should be easier for them once Rosie starts school. It is understandable that Rosie reacts to even small changes of routine; it’s all still quite new. Jim and Sophie are very protective of her. They have waited for a child for so long.
Rosie knows that daddy has been to the hospital, and has had an operation and needs some medicine that might make him poorly for now, but she hasn’t been told any more at this point. She has recently had chickenpox, so she can relate to feeling poorly and taking medicine. Poor old Bertie has been dressed up in a white t-shirt. He wasn’t much use playing the doctor, so Rosie put red dots all over it, now he is the patient instead, he does it to a T! Rosie is the doctor. I have a picture of the two of them for you.
