The Truth About Adoption (Panorama, BBC1)

[hester]

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

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

www.false-allegations.org.uk/false-allegations.html. another link for everyone to have a look at

are you just posting identical links on every adoption thread thats current?

I'm not going to engage on this thread.

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

Jesus get a grip!

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

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

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.
