From Mumsnet, desperate pleas

Posted by on Nov 11, 2014 in Blog | 0 comments Did I hear someone say adoption week? There were no big announcements from the government, the media seemed preoccupied/bored/disinterested and this general apathy was reflected in the public. “Oh you’re an adoption campaigner,” they say. “Isn’t that stuff all sorted now. I heard the government changed everything.” Uh. No, actually they haven’t changed...

Freezing an opportunity

Posted by on Oct 24, 2014 in Blog | 0 comments At first glance the decision by Apple and Facebook to offer women egg-freezing as a perk, may seem enlightened. “How modern and very hip,” you can almost hear some people saying. But let’s see how modern it really is. What they’re offering women is the chance to delay pregnancy so that they can reach their career goals while still having the option to procreate later on. There seems to be a...

The myths of “world class” adoption

Posted by on Oct 19, 2014 in Blog | 0 comments I am wondering whether somebody in government decided it was time to write a good news piece about adoption. They knew it would be a struggle. They assigned the research to some well-heeled Oxbridge graduates who were told to find ‘good news’. And this is the result. Apparently we have an adoption system in the UK that is ‘world class’. Well who knew? Honestly I despair when I read...

When did mum become a dirty word?

Posted by on Feb 24, 2014 in Blog | 0 comments A day doesn’t go by when i don’t read a blog, a Facebook post, a tweet by mums claiming that their job is the hardest, most unrewarding in the world. I know they are trying to be funny. But it’s just getting boring. And offensive. It’s another twist on the “God it’s hard being a woman” industry, the one which spawned the similarly misguided “All men are useless” narrative. Cliche? You bet. Yes...

Adoption reopens that old debate of race and religion, throwing in same sex adoption too in Harrow

Posted by on Feb 3, 2014 in Blog | 1 comment I was contacted by LBC radio to comment on this story As ever the topic of interracial adoption is a complex one, one that makes the headlines in the New York Times on the same day – link here. I think the title of the NY Time summarises the whole thing correctly. Yes race (and indeed religion) do matter. They are part of a child’s identity, and it will stay way into adulthood. In an ideal...

Adoption Weak

Posted by on Nov 9, 2013 in Blog | 0 comments To read some of the statistics bandied about during this Adoption week, you’d think things were really looking up. According the British Association of Adoption and Fostering almost 4,000 children were adopted between April last year and March – the highest number since records began in the early 90s. If only things were that rosy. 68,110 children were in the care of local authorities on...
