Masterclass – Supporting adoptees to build a strong identity

Listen to a wide-ranging, fascinating discussion with two adopted adults about identity. In this ‘no holds barred’ conversation they explore ways of supporting children in the early stages of adoption, how to approach sharing life story information, relationships with birth relatives and the extra bits that adoptees have to face during adolescence and early adulthood. This is a must-listen for anyone considering adoption, as well as established adopters and those supporting them.
