So said the senior social worker at our matching meeting. He had been known to SS from birth. Had 8 foster homes and had spent reception in a special school. He joined our family aged 6.The youngest of our 4 adopted sons.
Last Fri he and his lovely wife got the keys for a lovely new build 400k flat . 3 min from the River Thames. He has a 2.1 degree ,works for a charity. He inherit some money from both my parents,and his birth grandparents. But he has saved hard. So has his wife and so they had a 20% deposit between them . And will move in in 2 weeks time. They have a wide network of friends. Enjoy exploring places together.
I would love to update the social worker who had such low expectations for him!

Bravo to your fantastic DS, and to yourself. So happy to hear this.

Love this - well done

Wow! Congratulations to all of you. What an amazing story.

How lovely, well done to you all

Hope your DS and his wife have a long and happy future together

Fantastic news, it gives hope that it’s not all doom and gloom and kids who’s needs can’t be met going into a similar cycle to their birth parents

How wonderful, you must be so proud of your son and what a great testament to your parenting of him. I'm in the thick of it with two young children and stories like these are so helpful

That’s so lovely - well done. A lesson to never, ever write children off.

You are the type of person that people should praise. Not these twats on instagram. You are a hero
