In the latest episode of our Modern Family podcast, led by Associates Sarah Infante and George Irving, Dr John Simmonds OBE from CoramBAAF was invited to discuss the adoption and foster care system in the UK.

John is a qualified social worker with substantial experience in child protection, family placement and residential care settings. He is responsible for CoramBAAF’s contribution to the development of policy and practice in social work, health, the law, and research.

John shared his own experience of adopting his two children over 40 years ago. The discussion focused on questions of identity that adopted children face as they grow older, and advice for parents to prevent adoptions from breaking down, particularly the age of social media and the internet.
