How do you manage contact with an adopted child’s birth family? And how do you create new sibling relationships within families?

In this episode, our adoptive parents tell us their stories about the sometimes daunting process of communicating with birth families and managing children's expectations.

We hear how Gareth overcame his anger at the birth parents for his children’s benefit. And Rob describes the moment he and his husband brought two non-blood siblings into their family.
