In this special episode Amy chats to Sabrina Purse about her personal experiences as an adoptive parent, the process of adoption and what health visitors need to be doing differently. Don't worry though - Jen will be back for the next episode I promise!
I think this is one of the most powerful and eye-opening episodes we have done - definitely one to listen to. Thank-you so much to Brie for her incredible bravery and kindness allowing us all to learn from her experiences.
