In an ideal world, families would stay together. We do not live in a perfect world. This video summarises the model of adoption that came from the research I carried out into wellbeing in adults adopted as infants. 🙏https://t.co/dIfbDtMHFb

"This validation is really important to me my feelings that love has not been conditional and the impact on my mental health. Thanks also for the reminder of limitations. I've always wondered why I find aspects of life difficult that others don't."

So pleased Claire featured in Guardian today - recognised for her efforts supporting adoptees & raising awareness - a tough gig. So proud of her and to be part of HTBA. Adoptee struggles will one day be widely known & support freely available. Love ya 💕@howtobeadopted #adoptee

[Lara Leon @IamLaraLeon]

Amazing to be with so many adoptees at tonight’s event and hear all about Gilli’s research into the lifelong impacts of adoption. Thank you all for coming. ❤️#adoptee @howtobeadopted

Closing in on our true selves is the only way to live authentically. Sadly many have to work so hard late in life to undo the messages from others they’ve spent years internalising. #authenticity #findyourthing

[Mick Cooper @mickcooper77]

Some people help you get closer to yourself: fantastic! Some people take you away: best avoided. But the real danger is people who you think are taking you closer to yourself but are actually taking you far, far away. Spotting that early is an essential skill for life.
