Vicky is a professional organiser (@youneedavicky on Instagram) and author of Amazon Bestseller Start with Your Sock Drawer, but Vicky came onto the podcast to talk about adopting her beautiful daughter ‘Tippy’. We talked about:

• What led Vicky to want to have children in the first place and why she chose adoption as her path. 
• What the adoption process involves. 
• Whether being a solo parent meant that she was treated differently in the adoption process.  
• How Vicky first met Tippy and the reactions she has had when talking about her adoption experience. 
• Tippy’s ‘life story book’ and what this means to them both. 
• Vicky’s advice to anyone thinking of adopting.
