Truth be Told: Adoption Stories Podcast - Season 1
One of the best ways to find out more about adoption is to hear from people who have been there and done it.
An insightful and heart-warming listen whether you’ve already adopted, are looking to start the process or just interested in different ways of starting a family.

Episode 3 - The matching process
This episode is all about one of the most emotionally intense parts of the journey: matching children with their new families. Is there such a thing as the perfect fit?

Our adopters discuss their experiences of the assessment and approval process and meeting their social worker for the first time - which has nothing to do with having a clean house!
Episode 1 - Meet the Adopters
In the first episode of our Truth Be Told podcast, a group of adopters from across Wales share their experiences with each other - from the first steps to post-adoption support. No one knew each other before the recording but within moments it is like listening to old friends talk. They laugh together, they cry together.
