Today we'd like to introduce Jack & Lucy, who are taking part in the #LondonMarathon and raising money for After Adoption in doing so! They said "We have chosen our charity for a very special family, who are very close to our hearts" Thank you Jack & Lucy and Good Luck!!

@EACCorp_parent A good deal of focus is placed on existing family and relationships and existing adopted family children (whether birth children or other adopted children). We are proud of the fact that our service encompasses and cares for all of those involved and affected.

This makes me worry about what message the child that is not “theirs” will take from this.

@EACCorp_parent by adoption, including birth children of the adopted parents (if there are any), as well as birth mothers, adopted adults, those who have been through the process and who need support and those who want to share their experiences to help others

@EACCorp_parent Hi! Thank you for your response. In some of our recent social media content we’ve been looking at the reasons some of our Adopters chose to adopt. This was a fairly common one. As a registered charity as well and an adoption agency, After Adoption works with everyone affected

We are delighted that After Adoption has been awarded another #ReachingCommunities grant by #TheNationalLotteryCommunityFund We're looking forward to providing another 3 years of support for #adopted #children and #youngpeople and their families in the #Midlands #TalkAdoption

This week’s #exploringadoption event is at our #birmingham office Click on the link to find out more!!

This is an awesome interview with some really brilliant friends of ours. Well done and thank you for sharing Graham, Martin and Josh!! #LGBTadoption

@afteradoption are in the house! @GMSWAOfficial @SalfordUniSW @USInternalComms #futurecareers

Don't miss your chance to meet the lovely team from After Adoption! @afteradoption #GMSWAFutures

@Linekekei Thanks for the feedback. We'll bear it in mind for future publications!

@afteradoption It would be nice to see fact sheets like this explain about the legal process. All this says is that you can apply after 10 weeks. But if you are unlucky like we were to have birth parent appeal (ours went all the way to the high court), more info & support is definitely needed.

The social worker is explaining the outline of the adoption process You can find the information here afteradoption.org.uk/i-am-thinking-… #LiveTweet #ExploringAdoption

So, the main part of the event has now finished and the attendees are asking their own questions. If you have any questions at all, please either tweet or DM them to us and we'll answer them as fully as we can #LiveTweet #ExploringAdoption

AA lists the many support services that those who adopt through After Adoption and their child/ren have access to: training, support, guidance, counselling, therapeutic support #LiveTweet #ExploringAdoption
