Keir Starmer today called it “utterly appalling” that a Reform UK councillor described children in care as “downright evil”.
This report by a Care Experienced writer reveals how that remark still reverberates in Cambridgeshire.

🥚 The mainstream narrative of #adoption feels like someone has made a three-hour biopic but only given the subject five minutes’ worth of screen time.

Why are some food outlets so averse to displaying a fixed menu above their counter? If all I am greeted with is an endless scroll of promos and part menus that disappear too quickly, I will simply walk away and not come back.

🥚 I’m thinking out loud on this one, but I want to articulate something along the lines of:
‘When you adopt, your ‘story’ ceases to be only yours to tell. You are now the ‘stewards’ of another family’s ‘story’- a responsibility to be borne with the requisite level of care and discretion.’

if you are an adoptive parent you do not so much *have* a perspective to set against that of #adoptees as *lack* necessary perspective.
It may make you uncomfortable to listen to adoptees. But instead of writing us off as “angry” outliers, a bit of respectful listening might help you as a parent.
