Finalisation of our daughter and son in laws' adoption of their now two year old Son happened in August after a long, long and traumatic process made more difficult than it should have been by incompetent Social Workers BUT ...that is a different story.
He is our lovely and lovable fourth grandchild, well settled, happy and confident and just a joy. My daughter tells me that they should now start talking to him about being adopted and about his birth parents. Apparently this is now the recommended way of making adopted children aware - recommended by the "authorities and experts". I am so worried that having settled and obviously feeling a proper family member, this could rock the boat at such an early stage of being with his forever family. We will never know what memories he has from his first nine months in foster care but hope they are diminishing. Surely, talking about adoption now could confuse and unsettle him. I have no experience of any of this and wonder if any Gransnetters have first hand or professional knowledge.
