Adoption 🫶🏼

Following this! I hope to adopt when my kids are older

If I were ever to adopt I would want all the information as to why they were removed given the long history in the UK of children being removed from loving homes. Or on the other hand the information to know what kind of support the children need since many can come from situations where they’ve experienced early trauma x

I was adopted when I was 4 and a half. Legally it took a year to get the court date and we had met our adoptive parents about 10/15 days before we went to live with them. But I believe the overall process for them took a couple years from beginning of search to us moving in to the court date. Please message me if you’d like my adoptive parents contact - they are more than happy to give advice

@Simone you get full reports although depending on social worker those notes will either be rubbish or good. Most of us especially older adoptees will have experience a multitude of early trauma in every form. Be prepared to be offered a world of resources and not receive any. You’ll need to look for therapist etc yourself if you want to get help as you’re pretty much left alone once adoption is complete

We adopted our daughter from India. Happy to connect.
