We have 3-4 people in Oxford, UK, interested in forming an adoptee peer support group. DM if you’re also in the oxford area and want to be put in touch x


This month’s @PrimaMag I’d like to say a polite p*ss off to Josephine on behalf of all my fellow ‘skeletons’ 🦴 🤨 #adoptees #adoption #skeletonsinthecloset #skeletonshavefeelingstoo #dna #familytree

This kid was shunted across 4 foster homes & a care home. Excluded. Suspended. No aspiration. If you had told him he’d be a BBC broadcaster, graduate & author, he’d have thought it a lie. My book Looked After comes out tomorrow. Pls pre-order if you can. Link in bio. Thanks. 👊🏽❤️

Finally able to share my research project survey, and am calling for any #adoptees who feel able to respond, to please do so. It will be greatly appreciated! app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/brunel/adopt…

Did a family tree with my son today to explain who everyone is - my adoptive family - who he knows well, and my bio family - most of whom he’ll never meet. He was so kind and caring throughout, wrote the names out with reverence ❣️

The culmination of two years of work in physical form. My book arrived in the post today - first time I’ve held it. Link in bio if you’d like to pre-order! ❤️👌🏽

As someone who was quite naive with this in the beginning thinking I'd be able to do it by myself, having the volunteers who do extraordinary things really makes Project Infant, a force for good. And we're always looking for more volunteers, come join us! projectinfant.ie/volunteer

I was forbidden by law from knowing the identity of my own mother. By the time the law was changed, giving me the right to my own birth record, she had died, never knowing, seeing, or speaking to me again. I hope she knows I love her, & mourn for all that was lost. #adoptionloss

Popping up from a break to share this article in @womanandhome, who interviewed me some months back. "Family Secrets" outlines the lifelong impact & effects of (forced) adoption. I speak from my personal experience, but many of these issues are sadly common among adoptees -
