@SammyDuffin2 I'm sure the social worker would have shared this. A positive relationship between adopters and birth parents is important for letterbox to work

@SammyDuffin2 It depends on the adopters and the children. Whilst there is no way of knowing, adopters know it is an important process. Most I work with want letterbox contact as they can see the benefits.

@SammyDuffin2 You can talk about what your interested in or talk about what is going on in your family. They are very emotive and personal letters, but the person who coordinates it within the local authority should also give you some guidance about what you can or can't talk about.

@SammyDuffin2 Hi Samantha. Apologies for the late reply, I haven't had internet for a few days and I'm not exactly a regular on twitter. Letterbox is hugely important for adopted children and provides an important link to their birth families.

Apologies for being so quiet recently, I am finding it hard to strike a work life balance at the moment.

I love what I do and the challenges it brings, supporting children and families; but is anyone else starting to find it almost impossible in the current climate of cuts and austerity?

@OwenJones84 Don't worry Owen, not everyone out there is this hateful. I think you often speak honestly and make a lot of sense. Keep up the good work :)

A wise teacher knows that showing empathy & compassion to students doesn't mean you are weak & soft. It means you are strong enough to care. #edchat #education

Wrong. People were marching because we love our NHS and hate what the Tories are doing to it. Healthcare is a human right. x.com/realdonaldtrum…

The Democrats are pushing for Universal HealthCare while thousands of people are marching in the UK because their U system is going broke and not working. Dems want to greatly raise taxes for really bad and non-personal medical care. No thanks!
