Preparing for Adoption

Soul Adoption

Have you ever wondered what it takes to become a foster or adoptive parent? In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with Liz, a dedicated social worker with nearly two decades of experience.

Liz shares her transformative journey from paediatric nursing to fostering children with severe health conditions. Liz's touching accounts of the children she has cared for, including those with terminal illnesses, highlight both the emotional hurdles and the profound rewards of fostering.

Liz takes us through the meticulous assessment process prospective foster and adoptive parents undergo, explaining how joint and separate interviews help assess the stability and compatibility of couples, ensuring they are well-prepared for the responsibilities ahead.

We also explore the sensitive issue of adopted children seeking information about their birth families and the crucial role adoptive parents play in this journey.
