Many thanks for alerting me to your website which I will visit and I am sure learn from. I am absolutely confident that debate is needed and that we should all be grateful to you for your initiative.
As you know, I found it very odd that so little attention was paid to the importance or otherwise of the relationships of adopted children to their former foster carers. After all they had often spent most of their early lives with them, and the scope for misunderstanding or misinterpreting the move was considerable (e.g. it would be easy to see it as a punishment or rejection or as yet further evidence of the unpredictability of all relationships).
