In my editorial, I am discussing the needs of unaccompanied minors and their foster carers. 👇 https://t.co/dWvTwIEwJc

@MariaLoades @Mental_Elf @BarkeEdmund Good question - it’s probably difficult to answer with the approach we used here, but definitely something we could look at more quantitatively.

@sarahjohal1 @MrAlCoates @PACUKadoption @CVAA_UK @AdoptionUK Thanks Sarah, just to add the link to the paper we talked about - service use experiences in adult adoptees; https://t.co/6S7171VDHA

[The Mental Elf @Mental_Elf]

Adoptees need to be supported throughout adulthood as they transition to independent lives & become parents themselves.

Parenthood brought many positives, but significant challenges were experienced by a minority of the adoptees who became mothers.

Through the English and Romanian Adoptee (ERA) Project, IoPPN researchers have been studying the possible impact of deprivation on Romanian adoptees who grew up in England. Watch participant @ionica_official explain the latest on the project below 👇

[Mark Kennedy @MarkKenPsy]

@MariaLoades @Mental_Elf @BarkeEdmund When we did the interviews there were too few dads to analyse, but the experience of dads is really important and something I’d love us to be able to look at. In terms of generalising, it’s really hard to say with certainty, but anecdotally there may be parallels for some.

[NIHR Biomedical Research Centre (BRC): Maudsley @NIHRMaudsleyBRC]

Recent qualitative research from the English and Romanian Adoptee (ERA) Project has explored the experience of adoptees accessing services and becoming parents.

@ionica_official, who was part of the project, explains more about the findings👇
