Whatever Next: On Adult Adoptees Identities

Josephine Jay, Adaline Bara & Hannah Feben-Smith

2022

Whatever Next looks at traditional narratives surrounding adoption which have dominated the discourse and damaged adoptees, and what can be done to avoid the pitfalls.

Trauma warning: This archive contains material relating to care experience including references to abuse, neglect, sexual violence, and institutional harm.

 

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
