Founder member and chair of POTATO is to appear on the Victoria Derbyshire BBC2 programme.

Together with fellow experienced adoptive parents we explain that;

1. We love our traumatised adoptees but sometimes it is too hard for them to manage in a family. Love isn’t enough on it’s own.
2. Our families and adopted young people need specialist ongoing support.
3. Adoptive parents need to be treated kindly by the services. In POTATO group we are kind.

Also, radio 5 are revisiting their file on 4 survey with one of our members speaking as a guest.
