Ensure post-adopted children are able to remain in contact with people they love

Petition Details

Ensure children who are adopted have the option to stay in touch with the people they love if it is safe to do so; such as Foster Carers, Siblings or Grandparents.

Additional Information

Not staying in touch can re-traumatise the children who may have had trauma in their past. Foster Carers are encouraged to form strong attachments with children in their care and when these attachments are broken it can cause distress and feelings of mistrust for the children. We are concerned that foster carers are not being informed of current legislation around adoption orders and are unaware the court can decide who remains in contact.
