Within Adopt South West, we are firmly of the belief that you as parents are the experts in your own families and you know and understand your children’s needs far better than any professional could ever hope to. As such, we feel that you are far better placed to receive the correspondence from birth families, read these and make the decision as to whether the letters are appropriate and will support your child’s well-being now or whether you will store them for the future. Adopt South West will therefore be changing the practice of reading correspondence before it is sent on to you as of the 1st April 2025.
