The Adoption and Fostering Podcast
Kids & Family:Parenting
Hello and welcome to this edition of conversations from the A&F network.
It’s national adoption week and we’re delighted to speak to birth mother Kristy.
She shares her story of the challenge of having her children removed and how she’s managed to build a life after that event. Her story is not uncommon, domestic abuse and mental ill health being at the start of the story as well as failed letterbox contact after social care professionals miscommunicated to adoptive parents.
Kristy now volunteers with PAC UK and seeks to support other birth parents as well as affect change in the adoption system
As always if you’ve experience of adoption, fostering or special guardianship from any perspective personal or professional and would like share that on the podcast please get in touch through the Facebook page, the app formerly known as Twitter or email us at AandFpodcast@gmail.com
