Episode 172 - If Adoption is the Answer then What is the Question - with Avery Bowser

In this episode we speak to Avery Bowser author of a chapter entitled 'If Adoption is the Answer then What is the Question?' in the new book 'The Future of Children's Social Care'.  He speaks as a social worker and adoptive parent and we fully acknowledge that we speak with him from that perspective. Regardless, it's a worthwhile discussion that considers the state of adoption and its future. His interview starts at 37 mins. This is a long episode as it's the end of the summer and in the introduction we catch up with on that's been going on as well as reflect on an email looking at lobbying for change in adoption. For once, Al, gets off the fence and the conversation gets a little impassioned. So, if you're part of the organisation that sent the email then please do come on and tell us why Al is wrong.  As always if you’ve experience of adoption, fostering or special guardianship from any perspective personal or professional and would like share that on the podcast please get in touch through Facebook or twitter or email us at [email protected] Listen/subscribe on iTunes here Spotify here Google here
