The ‘Alternative’ Preparation Course Pt5 With Adoptee and Panel Member Kat Samwell-Smith

In this episode we focus on the experience of going to panel. It's a nerve wracking and challenging experience for many adopters and Kat shares some of her experiences and offers insight into Panel from her perspective as a panel member and an adoptee. We discuss the process, the challenges, quality of PARs and a whole raft of aspects of what impacts on the panel's function. Kat also shares some of her experiences of being an adoptee and her perspective on adoption generally. It's a great chat and rest assured, Al is sorry for the interruption of his daughter through FaceTime!  As always, thanks for listening and if you'd like to email us with comments or suggestions the you can at [email protected]  You can also listen to the podcast:  iTunes here      Spotify here       Google here
