Becoming Parents
Becoming Parents is a four part series looking at adoption through the eyes of five people who have become parents with Vale, Valleys and Cardiff. During the series the parents talk about their experiences during different parts of the adoption process from ‘Getting Started’ to ‘Becoming a Family’.
The series covers the experience of a range of families. All prospective adoptive parents are as unique as the children that we place with them. We are looking for people who can provide a safe, secure, encouraging and loving home for a child who needs it.
We would like to thank to Philipa, Ross, Michael, Gareth and Claire for taking part in this series and for sharing their stories, raising awareness and ultimately inspiring others to think about adopting.
