Dear Frankie, They picked me for you. It was almost 11 years ago now. Tens of people had their say, gave their professional opinion and matched us. You, the most beautiful, caring, kind soul and me this most unusual potato. I know there probably isn’t any other adoptive parents out there who dress up as …
Dear Frankie, There are many people that won’t have heard of the term ‘Letterbox Contact.’ If someone is adopted like you or indeed have adopted a child like I have, then like us, they will most likely be very familiar with it.

Dear Frankie, Before things take off to a stratospheric level, I wanted to write to you and say a huge ‘Thank You.’ Thank you for your constant belief in me and my abilities to navigate us through my very unusual Life Style Business. I hope it teaches you valuable lessons as I know you are …
