Welcome to our first ever digital issue of Adoption Today! We are moving with the times and linking our highly valued magazine more effectively with the full range of support we offer at Adoption UK. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to find out about all the support you’re entitled to as a member, including our community groups, training, online resources and virtual networks.
You’ll find the same fantastic content- such as the Q and A with our PATH team about supporting adoptees to make contact with birth family. There is the latest news across the nations of the UK. We’re shining a spotlight on issues like post adoption depression. We curate expert advice from other organisations like the Belay Foundation. And we will still have tips on how to look after yourself when times are tough.
I hope you enjoy reading this spring issue,
Emily Frith
CEO, Adoption UK

In this episode of Family Matters, James talks with Daf, the writer and creator of BBC’s Lost Boys & Fairies. Together they explore adoption and representation on screen, the inspiration behind Lost Boys & Fairies, and how stories like Doctor Who can help adoptees make sense of identity, belonging and loss. They also discuss the importance of authentic storytelling, community, and continued support for adopted people beyond childhood.
