It's the end of 2022 and we're re releasing the top three downloaded podcasts of the year. In third place we have Episode 132.

In this podcast we are joined by adoptive parent Elaine Amy, from that Twitter, and we open up a discussion in relation to adoptive parent’s responses to the changing landscape and criticisms of adoption. This is a conversation between adopters about adoption and that’s the focus of the conversation hence no adoptee voices.

We chat in relation to the questions of human rights, birth parent’s perspectives and our perspectives on the difficult issue of contact. We also discuss the challenges of supporting children when they have different views to their siblings as well as how our views have changed across our experience of being adopters .

It’s a fairly open discussion and looks at a range of topics that are a little less travelled, we would of course welcome any comments or thoughts on what we chat about.

We are always happy to hear from anyone who may have experience of adoption, fostering or special guardianship from any perspective and would like to share your views of perspective please get in touch on Facebook, Twitter or email at aandfpodcasst@gmail.com
