Laura Boccaleone

Laura Boccaleone is the adoptive mum of a beautiful and extremely funny boy called Ben. Originally from Italy, she moved to the UK in the year 2000. After spending over 10 years working in the financial sector, she would have never imagined she’d become a full-time mum, and write about it on her blog. Her interests include adoption (for obvious reasons), child psychology, attachment theory, and child development. You can follow her on Twitter @lauraboccaleone and on Facebook.
