We caught up with Scott who is a host of The Adoption and Fostering Podcast, Scott has sat on a number of adoption panels and was able to shed some light on what to expect at the panel.
Panel can be super scary, but hopefully, in this episode you will find out all of the reasons why you need not panic!! :-)

Have you ever wanted to speak with a birth parent and ask them about their journey? Has contact worried you in the past? Have you fond yourself building up an image of what birth families could be like?
In this week's extended episode, I caught up with Lara and Peggy from the podcast 'Two good mums'. Laura had her children CJ and RJ removed via adoption, Peggy and her husband then adopted them. Together they have built on the world of contact and shown how well it can work for the children.
I took listeners questions and posed them to both Laura and Peggy, the interview was amazing and I got so much from it, I hope you do too.

Hey and howdy
This week, we have been asked how COVID is affecting the adoption community and also different ways that you can get experience with children prior to placement. I chat about the experiences that we have seen during COVID and some of the stories that I have had shared, but it would be great to hear your experiences too.

The debate has been ongoing for years, now the little dude has a reason to spend some money and this was dads chance to boost the work in the home. This week we are talking about pocket money, how it is earned and how it should be spent. It’s been an interesting topic in our family and I’ve been challenged for a while, but perhaps I got it wrong.

The boys and I are on holiday, and it reminded me that during training adopters can be told of the difficulties of holidays and how to apply caution. So, I’ve recorded on location about our experiences of holidays and what we did to make sure we had fun.

We were asked recently, what type of parent we set out to be. This was a really great question and took me longer to think about before giving you today's episode. So, here is our latest episode, where Daddy talks about the type of parents we wanted to be and the aims we had in the beginning.

We've had a listener ask us about social media and how we manage it, so, we've tackled that very question. I talk about the things that worried us, the way that we managed and continue to manage it now.
I recorded this episode shortly after waking up....so I sound a little croaky, I didn't even get my morning tea. And I had to keep a little quiet so as not to wake the house. :-)

I was inspired to release an episode surrounding the court proceedings that all children go through and how this experience was for us. In this episode, I share our own journey through the court systems and how this experience worked for us. Hopefully, it will help you all to understand a little bit about that part of the journey.
