Linda: I didn’t know much about the place before we moved there last August. Honestly, it’s a desert and it’s very hot. It was 47 deg C the first week we got her ― it was awful ― I hated it. So, the first couple of months we just stayed in and tried to settle in. After living in Texas for two years, my son loved being back in the city with building...
Linda: When we first got to Texas in 2014, Oli and I still had contracts in Singapore, so we were flying back and forth from January until October, every month. When we finally finished our contracts, it was really difficult for me to calm down to a slower pace of life. It took me a long time to get used to it. But on the upside, when we lived in T...
Linda: We started Adventure Saturdays! All week, Oli has go to work and the kids have to go to school, so on Saturdays, we do something significant or something we know our kids would like, such as visiting museums or exploring the desert. It helped all of us settle into a routine and look forward to the weekends.
Linda: We were doing fairly well in Singapore, but my son is on the autism spectrumand we realised that some of the services he needs may be a little be more difficult to get in Singapore. Plus, Oli was ready to move at this stage in his career as well, and having been in Singapore since 2004, I hadn’t seen my family that much.
Linda: I have such fond memories of Singapore. I miss it quite a bit, not just the lifestyle, but the closeness of our friends, the culture and the food! We’d been there for 13 years. School was quite expensive especially since Ewan is on the spectrum and he had to go to a special school. We did it for a few months and I realised it was just unsust...
Oli: We got a call on Christmas Eve. There we were hanging stuff on the tree and Linda goes to answer the phone. She comes back and tells me the Sanctuary House called and they’ve got a little baby girl who’s been abandoned and needs someone to watch her. I said to Linda, ‘It’s Christmas Eve, are you literally asking me if there’s room at the inn?’...
Linda: A year goes by and by this time, we had already started talking about having another child. Ewan was already 2½ years old by then and we knew he was on the spectrum. He wasn’t talking and wasn’t interested in playing with other children. He was a lot like me as a child. I didn’t like to play with anyone except my brothers and sisters. So, th...
Oli: The first time Tia came over, she was about 3 years old. Before that Ewan had never wanted to interact with other children. He didn’t even like them to touch him. So, Tia comes over and she’s just being herself, getting in front of everybody’s face. She goes right over to Ewan who turns over to look at her and he pushes his iPad over to share....
Linda: It’s one of the things that people will always ask us about fostering. Isn’t it difficult? Is it hard? Don’t you want to not do this, because then you’ve got to say goodbye? So I tell them, well it’s not about me. It’s not about us, it’s about this child who needs a place to stay. How can you sit there and say I’m going make this about me. I...
Linda: When Ewan was still little, he didn’t speak, make eye contact or even want to be around us really. The house was so quiet then and I’m not used to that. I raised a bunch of nieces and nephews and I know a house with children is supposed to have laughter. It’s supposed to be fun. Oli would come home from work, say hi to Ewan and go off. Ewan ...
