Un-picking stories, issues and debates that really matter to you in the adoption field every week. Special guests and features in this lively, fun and exciting show with host Joy Carter.

Introduction to Adoption Arena Podcast

Adoption Arena focuses on discussing the complex and ever changing issues that affect adoptees, foster families and those who are linked with the adoption and fostering world in some way.  We are based in the UK but overseas adoptions mean that more understanding of multi-cultural families and ethnicity is often required for young people and families to really flourish. This programme is hosted by Joy Carter, who is herself a transracial adoptee from Nigeria to the UK arriving in London at the age of 2.  ‪

Every adoptee needs the pioneering spirit to overcome firstly their own life challenges that stem from adoption and the many complexities that occur. Adoption Arena desires to help create more voices, people sharing their stories to the media and press, we wish to create more advocates and pioneers to help shape the adoption arena for the good.  As in the UK 1 in 4 adoptions breakdown, 1 in 4 adoptees suffer from mental health issues and or self harm, over 64% of adoptees/fostered young people end up in state prisons, few adoptees go onto higher education.. 

The shocking statistics speak for themselves.  Africans say it takes a village to raise a child. This is true. We could all do more and this podcast will help give you the tools to help yourself, support a loved one and educate a friend. Please listen, share and subscribe - your support makes this happen and is very much cherished.  Thank you.

Adoption in the UK affects a quarter of the population! Cancer is 1 in 3.  Adoption is that common and yet their is still much ignorance, bullying and silence around the subject.  Things are getting a little better, but we could all do more to help people and see those and other shocking statistics fall.

Love starts with a conversation and ends with an action of love and hope. 

'The journey is essential to the dream' St Francis of Assisi wisely said.  The Western culture is obsessed with the dream and success but without diligence, wisdom, understanding, knowledge and careful cultivation of a young person or adult then the fullness of the dream isn't even nearly realised.  Pioneers need not just purpose, but all those factors. This podcast is committed to helping young people achieve greatness - the ability to be authentically themselves, love others and find healing from an often difficult start in life.

Thank you so much for reading, listening and sharing some time with us.

Together with your help, we can build a better tomorrow that starts today.
