History

Our first website: www.onlychild.org.uk was set up by me, Bernice Sorensen, when I was researching the experiences of adult only children through their life stages. This website contains some of the original emails and research that lead me to write the book ‘Only Child Experience and Adulthood’ and various other publications which are all available to you free through onlychildadult.com.Since then I have met such wonderful people from all over the world, many of whom have asked me to create a website community that would open up the dialogue between adult onlies further.

This website is not about me; rather it aims to create a growing online community and give the opportunity for onlies to share their experiences, both the joys and challenges, of growing up and living as an adult only. It also aims to support and share experiences associated with lack of siblings particularly, for example, the loneliness  which some of us feel are a result of the isolation of being an only child; or the stigma some people may experience in being just one; or the care of elderly parents when you are the only one responsible. You may prefer just to make contact with other onlies and that is what this community is all about. In fact feel free to contribute anything that you would like to share!

This online community is totally free; however, to prevent spam you must first register: see below for instructions.  Once logged in you can add content and talk with other onlies.
