Post Adoption Support
We give birth parents and grandparents emotional and practical support during a distressing time. This can include help with life story work, final family time visits and the writing of cards & letters to children who no longer live with their birth family.
​
Experienced staff can meet with parents and grandparents in private comfortable surroundings to talk about the court's decision and what this means for their family.

"It is important that people’s rights are not only respected, but that they come in on an equal basis….. We have deliberately funded projects like Families in Care that are independent, to give advice and support to parents."
