Dean T. Beirne: The Foster Kid’s Guide To Finding A Home (WIP)

Matilda got superpowers. Dean got sent to a foster home. 30 years later, he’s still waiting for his powers to turn up.

Growing up in care, Dean T. Beirne learned about family from the orphans he watched on television.

In the films, they always found out they were secretly special. Dean just wanted to know where he fitted in.

From foster homes in Aberdeen to an unlikely childhood in Dubai, Dean looks back at the people who raised him, the stories that kept him company through the toughest times in his life and the ridiculous things he did to feel like everyone else.

Join him on a stand-up coming of age adventure about being adopted, growing up and trying to find somewhere you can be yourself.

Finding a home is one thing. Feeling like you belong there is another.

No superpowers involved.

Really.

There’s no superpowers.

Promise.
