BFANI is on tour! And this week, we meet Lee and Bobby, two dads who have adopted two brothers through Barnardo's in the South East.
They share their inspiring journey, from navigating the adoption to embracing the chaos that came with welcoming their two boys during lockdown.
We discuss:
• Choosing Barnardo's
• The significance of LGBT+ representation in adoption
• Navigating the assessment process and overcoming personal hurdles
• Developing bonds
• Therapeutic parenting techniques
• Contact with birth family
• Tips and encouragement for future adoptive parents
Join us for this special episode marking LGBT+ Foster and Adoption Week 2025
