I’ve an adopted son who has issues which were never explained to us by the social workers at the time. They also ‘encouraged ‘ us to take a child who was a different sex & age to our ( broad) criteria. At the time we felt immense guilt/pressure to be unquestioning in their ‘professional’ choice.
I would never give him back now, but there have been fraught times when I’ve been angry with the system, and considered the option.
It is this sort of scenario which puts off other prospective adopters, and which, in my opinion, needs to be changed.

I have spent years feeling a failure for handing anck our adopted son. At the time there was no support what so ever and I have felt alone in this . Well done for setting up this support group.

Sometimes it takes more courage to face reality than to plod on with an untenable situation for fear of what others may think. Well done.

What a fantastic idea. I have a close friend who has been through this very thing and I know how helpful she will find it. Congratulations.
