Independent social worker.
What are you looking for in potential adopters?
“...who have the capacity to reflect on their own lives and the way they have been parented, it goes without saying that they actually enjoy the company of children.”
How do you tell a child they are going to be adopted?
“...if you are saying you are going to have a new mummy and daddy they expect it to happen tomorrow, so you have to be very careful about how you share information with children”
“...it is probably one of the most crucial pieces of social work practice that I engage helping a child to move from one family to another and it requires a high level of sensitive planning”
Do you think adoption is a good thing?
“...adoption in the 21st century is very different and poses very different challenges to adoption 50 years ago”
