The Elephant Mum

5 years ago

Italian mother of two living in the capital area of Finland. Our clan includes also my Italian husband, our daughter R. (b. 2013) and our son E. (b. 2015, joined us through international adoption in 2017). Our family is a hot mess of cultures, a blend of Italian, Finnish, and Indian. I write about adoption, multicultural families, bilingualism, expat life in Finland, and much more of the parenting world. We live in the beautiful natural wonder that is Finland, the forest starting just outside our doorstep.
