Adoption videos

[turtola]

Can anyone suggest videos to watch which give an introduction to adoption, the process, personal experiences, answers some of those initial questions etc? I get info from reading but dh needs a different format to process it all. So whether it's videos from an adoption agency, a tv programme, YouTube etc, any suggestions?

Great question, think videos would be better for my partner too!

Most of the agency sites will have videos but here are a selection.

There’s one about the adoption process from mumsnet on YouTube

Lots of videos on first4adoption www.first4adoption.org.uk/
Or
Coram www.coramadoption.org.uk/adoption-process/supporting-you-adopt
Or
You can adopt www.youcanadopt.co.uk/

Good luck :)

There is a YouTuber called 'Aimee vlogs' that I know a lot of prospective adopters find useful. Would he listen to a podcast. The adoption and fostering podcast is fantastic.

There are plenty of TV programmes on this thread: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/adoptions/2046566-Adoption-on-Television-Links-to-all-available-past-programs

Some feel a little dated now, but still worth a look.

Thanks very much everyone 👍

Love is not enough is brilliant.

These are very interesting about social workers doing their work, I think in Bristol.

Protecting our children is not about adoption, but it does show the kind of situations that some children in the car system will have come from.

care system.

I just watched episode one of 'Protecting our children; it is really heartbreaking. I don't want to say any spoilers but I hope that dear lady is OK now.
