Larter family

It must be hard for all the children, I’m sure they are doing what they think is best for them.
I agree that she will need permanent work to fund the visas, wonder why she doesn’t try to do this asap. I didn’t realise she is a qualified teacher, surely that is the best way to get money

Agreed and she surely knows the only way they stand a chance of getting Josh and the kids over here is for her to have a permanent job here.

All the talking to lawyers etc is only going to lead to the same conclusion - I suspect the reality is they’ve been told Josh can’t adopt the kids but they’re hoping for whatever reason Emilie will hold more sway and they’ll bend the rules for her as if she’s Madonna or something. But it’s not going to happen.
 
Surely the plan would be to move back to the uk with Adam. Get a teaching job to start earning and provide g a consistent income. Get Adam to adopt the other 3, whilst also working and saving as much as they could. Get married and the move them all over here.
I don’t see how she’ll meet the requirements if she’s living over there, setting up dog charity’s etc. whilst that’s a noble thing to do, she’s not in a position to do that, surely her family is a priority? Of course she’ll miss the kids and josh, but I just don’t see another way.
I don’t think Josh wants to come over and I think the family don’t want the kids to leave Uganda. I suspect they want Emilie to be there permanently and provide for the family. I wonder why she doesn’t teach over there?

She does teach when she’s over there, she does tutoring over zoom. She said she makes more money doing that than she would teaching. A teaching position in an Ugandan school would be really really terribly paid I assume. The average salary there is like £200 a month or something crazy low like that.
 
Glad I found this thread. I have been following this family for 2 years.
Adam is clearly her favourite child, I don’t see that ever changing even if they move permanently. I believe her heart is in the right place but she seems to have forgotten her critical thinking skills (taking a loan out for a car!) which she couldn’t afford.
I’m unsure what to make of it all. I worry for them all tbh (including the pets)

I’d also like to think Josh is a good person. He puts so many hours into the charity but who knows.
 
I agree I think it's just gone too far now. I get that she loves those children but she made a commitment when she adopted Adam and should be giving him the best start in life with a stable childhood. The school year has started now and he's not in school? He seems a smart kid and should be settled in one place. It really doesn't look they'll ever get the other 3 to the uk and as sad as that is, how long are they going to wait before they give up? Surely it would be better for them all to have some stability? I do feel for them. Emilie seems so lovely and with her heart in the right place but I do think she needs to think of Adam and his need for a stable life. I remember her doing a video or Q and A back in the summer and someone asks where does Adam prefer. She said if you were to ask him he'd say the UK but that she can tell he's happier in Uganda. I do wonder if she's kidding herself to make herself feel less guilty about all the upheaval. He is clearly very happy in the UK..

I’m conflicted about Josh. Part of me thinks he’s a tit who is deliberately taking advantage, part of me thinks he’s bought everything she’s said about the plans and thinks she’ll be their white European saviour able to bend the rules to get what she wants. Either way though I doubt it’s ever going to happen.
 
At the moment I don’t know if the younger 3 are fully aware of the differences in how Adam is treated and how they are. They’ve never experienced coming over to the UK and some of the opportunities he’s had that they’ve not. As they get older, I think they’ll be resentment. If the come over here in 2 years, there’ll all be close to being teens and I think it will cause a lot of jealously

I thought there were really strict guidelines about running raffles as I know a few influencers have got into trouble with the charity commission over running them unlicensed before. Is that really worth it for £200?!

Part of me feels a bit sorry for her as it’s clear it’s desperation at this point but then equally I can’t help thinking it’s time for her to cut her losses and accept the fairytale she wanted isn’t going to happen. I know it must be incredibly hard for her to accept that but the longer it drags out the worse it’s going to be for all of them when they have to accept the truth.
