Types of children placed for adoption:
Amy, 4 years old. In the first three years of her young life Amy experienced significant neglect and ill-treatment. Understandably, she became withdrawn and distressed. Amy is beginning to blossom into a fun-filled, confident, sociable child. While Amy is developing normally, she remains apprehensive about her future.
Amy is the eldest of three children. Her two younger siblings have been placed separately for adoption. This has been a major loss to Amy. Amy’s new family have assured Amy that they will stay in contact with her adopted brother and sister by meeting with them and their adoptive parents twice a year.

Mollie (aged 3), had some initial developmental delay.
Mollie needed a lot of help and encouragement to meet her milestones. One year after placement, she is talking, walking, eating well, generally thriving and enjoying nursery.
She has a special place in her new family who understand that some aspects of her future development remains uncertain. For the first time in her young life Mollie is beginning to catch up with her peers.
Thomas aged 7, who has joined his new mummy after having lived with 3 different families.
Two weeks after moving in, he was busy running around the house shouting, “I can’t believe it, I can’t believe it!”
It is still early days in the placement.
Thomas still gets worried about changes and seeks out reassurances from Mum that he is there to stay. His future is secure.
Ellie and Nora, aged 6 and 4, needed a family where they could still see their birth mother and a younger sibling, twice a year. Their adoptive mum and dad were initially apprehensive about this contact, however they have supported the children in this and have been amazed at how beneficial it has been for them.Ellie and Nora have already adapted to their new lifestyle.
