NOBODY’S SON

No 1 Bestseller

When I was asked to foster little Alex, aged 7, my immediate reaction was: Why can’t he stay with his present carers for the last month? He’d already had many moves since coming into care as a toddler and he’d only be with me a short while before he went to live with his permanent adoptive family. But the present carers were expecting a baby and the foster mother wasn’t coping, so Alex came to me.

He settled easily and was so looking forward to having a forever family of his own. I was happy for him too. The introductions and move to his adoptive family went very well and I waved him off feeling that his story would certainly have happy ending. But Alex was only with his family a week when problems began. What happened next was truly shocking and upsetting for us all. It calls into question the whole matching and adoption process. It wasn’t the first time it had happened and it won’t be the last.
