We know that the best support for our adoptive families often comes from other adoptive families, who have an understanding of their family life and have similar experiences to share.
To help our families meet one another, our Post Adoption Support Service arranges ‘family days’ in Spring, Summer and at Christmas each year, where our parents and their children can come together in a fun, informal setting to get to know and support each other within the adoption community.
While parenting any child will bring a range of joys and challenges, as almost all children placed for adoption in Northern Ireland have had to be parted from both their birth family and later from foster carers, sometimes parenting these adopted children can be additionally challenging.
You might find that talking to a Social Worker with experience and knowledge of adoption issues, or participating in some Post Placement training or information sessions could help.
