Am I adopted?

27th April 2017

‘How can a creepy show like The Moomins be on children’s TV?’ Growing up in the 1980s, that was one of two questions constantly on my mind. The other question was 'Am I adopted?' Ok, you may not have asked yourself about the Moomins, but wondering if you are adopted has to be one of those things that’s crossed everyone’s mind at some point in their life.

The Importance of Belonging

23rd March 2017

At TLG, we know how important it is to belong. For the children and young people we support, particularly those who are looked after in the care system, it can be hard to know where you fit in. We asked Krish Kandiah, founder and director of the fostering and adoption charity Home for Good, to share his thoughts on why we all need somewhere to belong.

On the Home Front

As our children become teenagers, it can be hard to know how to parent them well. What advice do you have for parents or carers who feel like they’re failing because the relationship feels more difficult than it used to?
