Throughout June we are highlighting our need to find adopters who can consider adopting sibling or family groups. At the end of May 2022, 49% of our children needing forever families are in sibling groups of two or higher. Brothers and sisters have such a unique, and powerful bond, so when it comes to our family groups, we always try our best to keep them together. They have often been through extremely difficult circumstances and in most situations have been the only constant within each other’s lives and Living through such difficult times together, means that they are often their own support network. So, by adopting a family group, this allows important bonds to be maintained and strengthened even more, keeping together an existing family unit whilst growing yours.

In this latest episode we are revisiting our conversation with Rav & Phil. This particular episode has been our most popular show across all platforms and I think their story is one that is absolutely fantastic and shows the magic of adopting a sibling group aswell as the challenges and surprises that can happen along the way.
