We caught up with Scott who is a host of The Adoption and Fostering Podcast, Scott has sat on a number of adoption panels and was able to shed some light on what to expect at the panel. 

Panel can be super scary, but hopefully, in this episode you will find out all of the reasons why you need not panic!! :-)

Have you ever wanted to speak with a birth parent and ask them about their journey? Has contact worried you in the past? Have you fond yourself building up an image of what birth families could be like? 

In this week's extended episode, I caught up with Lara and Peggy from the podcast 'Two good mums'. Laura had her children CJ and RJ removed via adoption, Peggy and her husband then adopted them. Together they have built on the world of contact and shown how well it can work for the children. 

I took listeners questions and posed them to both Laura and Peggy, the interview was amazing and I got so much from it, I hope you do too.

Hey and howdy 

This week, we have been asked how COVID is affecting the adoption community and also different ways that you can get experience with children prior to placement. I chat about the experiences that we have seen during COVID and some of the stories that I have had shared, but it would be great to hear your experiences too.

We were asked recently, what type of parent we set out to be. This was a really great question and took me longer to think about before giving you today's episode. So, here is our latest episode, where Daddy talks about the type of parents we wanted to be and the aims we had in the beginning.

We've had a listener ask us about social media and how we manage it, so, we've tackled that very question. I talk about the things that worried us, the way that we managed and continue to manage it now. 

I recorded this episode shortly after waking up....so I sound a little croaky, I didn't even get my morning tea. And I had to keep a little quiet so as not to wake the house. :-)
