Hello. I'm Becky Downrose. Founder of MyAlternativeFamily.com. Passionate advocate of the alternative family potential. Championing cultural and social change on perceptions of our community. Proud demystifying storyteller and publisher of my own first-hand journey into the alternative world of parenting. MyAlternativeFamily.com is a ground-breaking new online social network and information portal, aimed at people who are in alternative families and / or are considering starting a family via alternative means. In short, MAF (housed at www.myalternativefamily.com) can be characterised as a niche Facebook, mumsnet and parenting match service, all rolled into one single website.
