The definition of post adoption disruption is when an adopted child is returned to the care system. If anyone has loved ones going through this terrible, heartbreaking and little publicised trauma, please read this book - My Dogs Eats Plant Pots, written by Hannah Taylor. This chronicles her experience with the child care system and perfectly matches my own daughter's nightmare. Local authorities do not publish the figures for how many adoptions fail - for good reason. There are many. Adoption is far from all roses round the door. Too often love and stability is not enough for children who are damaged before they go into care. Social Services offer the bear minimum of help and only when bludgeoned into doing so. The system is broken. It breaks loving families, breaks good well meaning adoptive parents and it ruins the lives of those children for whom they are supposed to care.
