Learning from the adoptee experience

Learning from the past is important to help us make decisions in the future. In this weeks episode we continue the conversation from episode 3 discussing more insights, and experiences that involve young adoptees. ‘Chosen?’ is an anthology of writing by adopted young people out on 13th March, I’m excited to welcome onto the show Charlotte Ansell and Janett Plummer the project organisers/editors along with Estelle one of the young people. Estelle reads the poem and talks openly and honestly about her adoption, what she remembers and how she feels about adoption today. There are so many wonderful insights about what lessons can be learnt concerning UK adoptions along with some beautiful messages for adoptive parents too.
