My Story, My Way (Adoption, Long Term Foster Placements)

A gentle, supportive creative kit designed to help children explore their story, identity, and feelings around adoption in a safe and open way.

Created with care and understanding, this kit offers a calm, pressure-free way for children to express themselves through art, reflection, and conversation.

What’s included:

– 19 Thoughtful "My Story, My Way" cards

– A belonging stone to offer comfort and reassurance

The cards include:

• Gentle invitations to think, create, and explore feelings
• Affirmations that support belonging, identity, and self-worth
• Space to explore mixed feelings, including thoughts about birth family
• Support for asking questions and understanding change over time

A separate guidance card is included for parents, carers, special guardians, and foster carers — offering gentle support on how to use the kit in a way that feels right for the child.

Designed to grow with your child:

Cards are intentionally unbound, allowing you to:
– Use at your child’s pace
– Remove or revisit cards when ready
– Let the kit grow with your child over time

This is not about getting things “right” — it’s about creating a safe space where feelings can be explored and expressed.

Why creativity matters:

The creative element allows children to process big or confusing feelings in a natural and accessible way, while building a personal keepsake they can return to.

Designed to support:

Connection, understanding, identity, and gentle conversation.
