We encourage adoptive families to use ‘The Adopter Hub’ and we have some log-ins available for families to gain access. This is an online resource for the adoption community which is run by PACT (Parent and Children Together) and is a great resource.

While the prospect of going to back school will be exciting for many pupils, some might feel anxious. That’s perfectly normal. Lots of children will feel the same way.

With permission of a local Adopt South West adopter (Mummy), we share her daughter Kayley’s story. Kayley has extensive adoption-related issues such as attachment and trauma difficulties. The people she comes into contact with struggle to deal with her behaviour because they don’t understand her.
