In this episode of Trims and Talk, we sit down with Skye Curtis — an inclusive practice expert, researcher, and community engagement lead with the South Yorkshire Adoption Agency.
Black and mixed-heritage children wait, on average, 1.5 to 2 years longer to be adopted than their white peers — and are less likely to be adopted at all. Skye’s work seeks to change that by raising awareness, building partnerships, and co-designing culturally responsive adoption pathways that honour identity and belonging.
Joined by Donald Mclean, both share lived experiences as adoptive parents in a deeply human conversation about race, love, and the courage to open one’s home and heart. Dedicated to my niece Libby — because sometimes, family is what we choose.
