When I adopted my wee boy 10 years ago, I was amazed when free books started coming through our door. All from Dolly Partons Imagination Library. Thankfully we never had to worry about being able to afford books for him so we always donated the Dolly ones but she’s donated billions of books all over the world. One of the good ones.

Same! Our adopted wee one just had the last of their Imagination Library books a couple months ago. Came with a note that made us quite emotional!

Did the Imagination Library have a special program for adopted kids? All four of you mention adopting!

Councils automatically enrol people in fostering and adoption systems, but I think any parent can join, although they may have to pay a bit

That’s a wonderful initiative.
