The Open Nest Charity

A small charity with a big voice and big heart. Supporting those who have experienced traumatic events in the name of #care #adopteerights #therapueticspaces

[David Lammy @DavidLammy]

The term 'white privilege' didn't cause the neglect of white working-class pupils. A decade of Conservative austerity in education, housing, and youth services did. Just as it destroyed the life-chances of working class Black and minority ethnic kids. Stop trying to divide us.

[How To Be Adopted @howtobeadopted]

“... since reconnecting with my biological mother I’m starting to open up more freely and show all sides of me. I feel I now have a stronger connection to my identity.”

Have you read this new guest blog from UK #adoptee Danielle who is 18?

Clearly marketing. A perception exists that present-day adoption is 'different' from time of the *unjust*#MotherAndBabyHomes adoptions. Yet little rigorous examination exists of potential for/actual human rights trespass in today's culture of adoption pol/practice.

Please do listen in to @vicderbyshire on @BBCRadio2 at 1230. She wants to hear from people who’ve had a baby taken into care this way.

[The Open Nest Charity @TheOpenNestCha1]

@Sanchia7 This is the current style of adoption marketing for recruitment of adopters who want babies. Just one example of the culture around the policies.

Deeply troubling “Postcode lottery” for baby care orders - judge. Sir James Munby says he believes there are “almost certainly” miscarriages of justice. https://t.co/PSfgqJrAKH

Forced adoption is not historic. Breaches of human rights in pursuit of adoption as a practice is not historic. Apologies for past mistakes with adoption whilst continuing to make them is where we are at in the UK. @FamilyRightsGp has been highlighting the issues for years.

[Family Rights Group @FamilyRightsGp]

Vlog from our chief executive,@CathyAshley, reflecting on historic forced adoption & how, in the last 10 years, the number of new-borns subject to care proceedings has doubled.

@sarahnmcbee @annatoccara @HedwigDVerhagen @FestOfDebate @EPonSea @sha_niaaaaaaa @AdopteeFutures Definitely the light 🌟🌟🌟We ran away from Twitter as a charity for some time due to triggering adoption stuff. We voted as trustees to dip our toes back in recently and it has been uplifting and inspiring being here today because of this event ❤️ More please! @AdopteeFutures
