Our group of adopters share their own personal stories about why they chose to adopt, but before then, an eventful week filled with trauma, meltdowns, stress and emotions leads to a discussion about something called PACE.

Therapeutic parenting is a vital tool when raising adopted children with deep seated trauma, but it's not always the easiest thing to use. In the moment, reactions change, but cool heads prevail.

It's a discussion that would have come later in the series, but the nature of our WhatsApp group means that these things are always happening and so we wanted to share our insight into the world of PACE.

Want to know the truth about adoption in the UK today? Is it for you? What happens when you've adopted and you have zero idea what to do next?

Everything you ever wanted to know about adoption but where afraid to ask - and besides, nobody would have told you the truth about it anyway.

Adopters Anonymous is a warts and account from people living in the moment right now. Adopters that are dealing with the aftermath of addiction, abuse, neglect and trauma. And that's just the adopters!

We'll make you laugh, we'll make you cry. We'll shock you, and amaze you. But above all, it's a love story.

In Episode One of Adopters Anonymous, meet the adopters for a flavour of what the rest of the series will cover.
