Show Notes
Here is a link to the podcast episode I mention about the Primal Wound at the end of the episode.
Mark Hoult-Allen is Chair of We Are Family, Jay Nicol is a Trustee.
Here’s a bit about them from their website:
We Are Family is a peer to peer support community by adopters, for adopters. We’re there for parents throughout their adoption journey. Online and in person, our parents’ groups, events, resources, podcasts and talks offer mutual support, information and inspiration to adopters and those considering adoption.
We were founded in 2013 by adopters who had experienced first-hand the lack of peer support available. Becoming a family through adoption can bring its own unique set of challenges, as your child joins your family with an identity and a history of their own. Sharing problems, insights, frustrations and laughs with other people who have similar experiences can be invaluable.
