Hi,
What it says above really...I work for children's services and am at the stage where we would let go set the ball rolling to be assessed as potential adopters. In a previous role I worked alongside the adoption team preparing littlies for the transition to their adoptive family and doing LSW so know a lot of SW in adoption. I currently work with adolescents and their families, many of them are adopted so I also work with the PAS team from time to time (although less directly)
Our LA is the one I would definitely choose to work with if it wasn't for this...just wondered if anyone has any experiences to share? Obviously I need to ask them directly (going to enquire in DH's name to protect my confidentiality) but just wondered what other people's experiences are and whether they'd do anything different.
Our LA has recently merged with adoption teams countywide so it would make sense for us to work with SW and prep group from a neighbouring town (if we're even approved for stage 1...don't want to be presumptuous!) but don't know if it's as simple as that?
TIA

Any experiences of adopting from an LA when you work for the service?
