Join the Big Adoption Conversation on Thursday 27th January 10.

Last month, we received this letter from Hope who is 9 years old.

Senior Practice Consultant Dee and Clinical Supervisor and Adult relationship counsellor Carola, discuss adoption and the impact this can have on families.

“We spent lockdown getting ready to welcome two adopted children to our home” “It feels like all our Christmases have come at once! They feel like they’re ours already and we haven’t even met them yet.

“Lockdown has been tough but the support we’ve had has got us through.

There is no denying it – it is hard! I would love to be able to say that 13 weeks in, we have established a new routine, a new normal, and every day is full of new opportunity and delight, but this is no fairytale.

Adopters Story Our journey like many others, started with a very painful event; Infertility, IVF and a period of mourning.

When our daughter’s social worker visited our home to see that we could accommodate the little person about to enter into our lives, she mentioned the “honeymoon period” that adopters often have.
