    Adoption in Focus - Natalie, the adoption process, early permanence and three siblings.

    In this episode Leigh talks to Natalie about the adoption process, early permanence and contact between siblings. "They were amazing brothers straight away. You see them together and think well, that's just how it was meant to be." "Being open to that help, support and advice and note being embarrassed to ask for it, to us is massive." "It is amazing, it is hard work, but it is amazing, we feel really privileged to be adopters. To be able to be part of their life."
