Adoption

Michelle from Linton

Hi everyone, my partner and I are looking to connect with people who have an adoption story to share. My partner was adopted and has met his birth family and have known them for many years now. We would love to hear from other people who have any experience with adoption, good or bad. Maybe you were adopted, or you adopted someone or you had to put a child up for adoption, whatever your story, we would love to hear from you. No judgement, just support and friendship. To share our stories and experiences, offer advice if wanted and just be a support, should you be wanting to find your birth family or not or maybe you already have. Each story is unique, some good and some not so good. Sometimes it is just nice to be able to talk about things with someone who understands. We welcome you to share your story and would be happy to hear from you. You can respond here or if you prefer, please feel free to private message us. 😊

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

🌱 A new national scheme led by Biosecurity New Zealand is tackling an invasive weed that’s threatening wetlands, waterways, and forests in and around Manawatū, reports the Manawatū Standard.

💬 Our question to you: Do we sometimes overlook plants when investing in conservation?
Have you spotted this weed in your area, or noticed other local efforts to protect our native flora?
