The Truth About Adoption (Panorama, BBC1)

[hester]

Just realised I missed this! Did anyone else see it? Any good?

i am trying to get people to see the truth thats all.

My Ds's truth is that he was relinquished. Can you find an article about that and cut and paste it several times?

Most adoptive parents I've ever met are very aware of and sympathetic to the cases where parents and children have been separated due to below par work from social services or lack of resources to facilitate families staying together.

Having said that - most adopted children I have met (adopted in this country) have either physical proof of abuse (eg cigarette burns) or are old enough to know and recount the abuse and neglect they suffered. Accepting that a minority of cases should not have ended in adoption does not require a belief that the majority of cases should not have ended in adoption.

Please thisisreallife stop it. I've seen your posts elsewhere and actually have a lot of sympathy with your view point. However, going at adoptive parents like this is not the way forward. Really and truly they do not undertake adoption lightly and they really believe (rightly or wrongly) that their children really could not stay with their birth families

I am no fan whatsoever of social services and family courts but the vast majority of these parents are just doing their very best for the children placed with them. They are not the ones who wrote the assessments, made the home visits, made decisions in court etc. etc. they are the wrong people to target so please use your energy to target those who deserve it not caring adoptive parents

I have reported all your posts.
If you wish to discuss these news stories, I would strongly suggest that you do so elsewhere.

a foster carer gets between £250 and £450 a week (depending on who their employer is) per foster child.

I didn't see this unfortunately. Hope it comes onto iplayer soon.
I did watch something a couple of years ago on fostering which was shocking. So many kids get moved about, so many times in their lives, and by the time they get adopted they usually have difficulty attaching as they have learnt not to with the foster families. One family had a girl who had been moved so often that she was aggressive and made family life very hard for all of the other children as well as the parents. It clearly was due to her re-homing, but the family had few ways to deal with it without complete counselling. There was no funding for this AT ALL. Their point was that if you are going to mess a kid about so much, at least have the balls to put some funding into sorting out their poor heads before dumping them on a family to deal with.
It also pointed out how much each child costs in the foster system which is equivalent to a very high end full time boarding school.

I was annoyed as I looked into adoption before having DD and was basically told that as a single woman with savings and a house that wasn't enough. They were going to talk to all of my ex partners (how they thought this was a good judge of someone I have no idea) but the whole process could take 4-20yrs, if it ever happened. So I could be 50 with a small child but not single and 29
