Join us for our free annual Adopt South West Adopter Conference: Communication Around Adoption – Learning from the experiences of adoptive families, with guest speaker, Julie Young (pictured), Senior Researcher in the Centre for Research on Children and Families at the University of East Anglia. It’s on Tuesday 26 September.

Julie will talk about the crucial role of adoptive parents in family communication around adoption, and helping young people to manage contact with their birth family and make sense of their adoption story in a safe and beneficial way.

If you have worries around birth families and contact, please use this opportunity to think together, offer reassurance, and ask your questions about contact and your family.
