The Adoption and Fostering Podcast
Kids & Family:Parenting
In our roundup of the 2022 this was our second most listened to episode, again we see the experience of developing contact with birth parents as an issue that attracts interested.
In this episode we respond to a listeners question in relation to meeting adopted children's birth parents. We had a fantastic response on Facebook to the question and we also asked birth mother Charlotte (see this episode) to share her thoughts. We included her contribution via recorded message at the end of the podcast and really appreciate her contribution. Meeting parents can be a difficult for everyone involved and we unpick some of the issues and reflect on the shared comments and perspectives.
We also unpick some of the issues raised by the recent Somerset judgement and the impact on some prospective adopters and those with children just joined.
As always there's plenty of banter and inappropriate email shenanigans, as well we also announce an upcoming guest and ask for a little help from you.
As always if you’ve experience of adoption, Fostering or special guardianship from any perspective and would like share that on the podcast please get in touch through the Facebook or twitter page or email us at AandFpodcast@gmail.com
