Simone has just one daughter who is nearly 12 years old and a step daughter who is 10. Simone had one false start in trying to meet IPs and because of that experience decided to look locally. So, her  IPs, Mel and Dave, are in Adelaide. Coincidentally they  joined the SA group around the same time in April 2017 and began chatting end of June 2017. They attended a local catch up dinner in July 2017 and met in person – it was like meeting people she had known  a while. Mel and Simone decided to have lunch. Very soon after that, Simone officially offered. Simone, Mel and their partners make an effort to catch up every couple of weeks and are looking forward to the future
