What the Service can offer you

• An independent Adoption Development Worker (not a social worker) who can offer you support, information and advice, to whom you could talk to in confidence.
• Birth Family Counselling Service this is a service that can offer you 4 to 5 sessions where you can talk about your fears, feelings and loss.
• Letterbox Contact is when the child’s adoptive family and birth family can send news to each other by letter at agreed times during the year.
