From people who came through it

  • โ€œI think I was sure I'd never feel normal again. I was wrong. I stopped trying to be the perfect parent. Good enough is enough. Keep going, even slowly.โ€

    Rami from Tangier ยท been through adoption and foster care
  • โ€œPlease be gentle with yourself and I wasn't, and it made everything harder, ask for a double appointment if you can, it changed things for me. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.โ€

    Bayo P ยท been through adoption and foster care
  • โ€œReading this late at night? I've been there. I've been there. For me it was a few years back. Back then it was the adoption panel. I laugh properly again. It doesn't stay this heavy. Keep going, even slowly.โ€

  • โ€œA note for the next person. This time last year I was exactly where you are. For me it was the adoption panel. I've started painting again. You get yourself back in pieces. Praying for you.โ€
