Sam’s Story – a young person’s view in #NAW24
For National Adoption Week, 16-year-old Sam shares how moving to homeschooling has helped him develop his social skills, and his mum talks about the rewards of adopting an older child.

For National Adoption Week 2024 we’re releasing our new podcast episode with Sam, now 16, who first came to Family Futures with his mum and dad aged 7.

Sam discusses his recent transition to homeschooling and how this has helped him develop his social skills. We are also joined by Sam’s mum who shares valuable insights for both professionals and prospective adoptive parents, emphasising the importance of considering older children and the unique rewards and challenges of adoption.
