Join in with National Adoption Week this 12 – 18 October by listening to Wales’ first ever adoption podcast, Truth be told: Adoption stories. Or register for a lunchtime webinar to hear honest stories and tips from adopters and adoption workers across Wales.
One of the best ways to inspire people to adopt is by sharing success stories of those that have been there and done it.
Truth be told: Adoption stories, a podcast from the National Adoption Service aims to be an informative resource that features a group of adopters discussing their shared
experiences together.
Truth be told: Adoption stories is available in both Welsh and English and features 10 adopters from across Wales discussing a different adoption topic each week - from the first steps to postadoption support. Stories range from same sex adopters and single adopters to older adopters and sibling adopters.
No one knew each other before the meeting but within moments it is like listening to old friends talk. They laugh together, they cry together.
Truth be told: Adoption stories is invaluable whether you’ve already adopted, are looking to start the process or just interested in different ways of starting a family.
