New Book Lifts the Lid on the Highs and Lows of Modern-Day Adoption
“Forever Families” shares powerful real-life stories at a time of deep concern over cuts in support for adopted children.

A thought-provoking new handbook, Forever Families: The Highs and Lows of Modern-Day Adoption, offers a rare and honest glimpse into the world of adoption, through the voices of those who live it every day.
Commissioned by the Berkshire based charity Parenting Special Children (PSC).

Authors Shirley Anstis and Zobia Kalim have brought together a collection of 34 deeply personal stories, spanning a diverse range of families and experiences. Adoptive parents open up about their life-changing journey of adoption, the struggles they face in securing vital support for their children, and the profound resilience and love that binds these families together.

Released at a critical time, the book follows the UK government's recent announcement of significant cuts to the Adoption Support Fund, a move that adoptive families and professionals fear will make it even harder to access the therapeutic help many children desperately need.
