From understanding what adoption is, through to step by step guidance on the entire process and the challenges that come up along the way, this is the only book you will need to read on adoption. Written by an author who was adopted herself, who has looked after over twenty children and who works for a fostering and adoption agency that deals specifically with breakdowns, this book will teach you how to confidently navigate the system and build a strong and lasting relationship with your child. Whilst very much being the unvarnished truth, this is an empowering guide that will ensure you feel in control and know where to turn to for help no matter what-With a positive attitude and the right tools, adopting a child can be very rewarding - don' t try to overthink it, don' t try to love, just do right by them and as you learn about each other the love, kindness and acceptance will grow.
Louise Allen was adopted herself and is now a foster carer and has fostered more than 20 children. She works with national adoption and fostering agency Families for Children offering support to adoption breakdowns. She is an active spokesperson on behalf of looked-after children and their families and is part of an All-Party Parliamentary Group looking into the provision of fostering and adoption services and hopes to be involved in rewriting the Children Act.
