This very special episode of The Family Futures Podcast was recorded live at our 25th anniversary conference, Contact in Context. You will hear a few bleeps censoring names and locations. This is to protect the speakers and their families.
The discussion is facilitated by Sue Hughes, Assessment Services & Permanency Director at Family Futures. Our expert by experience guests: Alison (adoptive parent), Daniel (Adoptee), Helen (adoptive parent), Julia (adoptee), Matt (adoptive parent) and Michelle (special guardian), reflect on their experience of contact with birth family members, respond to questions from our virtual audience and reflect on the morning's talks.
Conference ticket holders can access all content from the day until the 18th of January 2024. If you missed the live event, you can buy your ticket now and re-watch the talks as well as accessing the conference resources including a free copy of our good practice guide, a framework for contact.
