According to a new report from Adoption UK nearly half of families with adopted children aged 13 to 25 say they are at ‘crisis point' or ‘facing severe challenges'. Author, Becky Brooks, discusses her report alongside Clare, a parent of adopted children. Indian women wrestlers have been living on the streets of Delhi in protest after they accused their sport's federation's top official of sexual harassment and abuse. There is just three months until the World Championships and the Asian Games when ordinarily these women would be focussed on intense training. Nuala discusses the situation with Divya Arya, Women's Affairs Journalist at BBC Delhi. A new production of Rigoletto opens next week at Opera Holland Park. Described as “a propulsive tragedy of toxic masculinity and unfettered power”, the director, Cecilia Stinton, explains why she has set it in an Oxbridge-style college post World War I, and the relevance of the story to a modern audience. The soprano, Alison Langer, who plays the role of Gilda, also joins Nuala and performs live in the studio.

As per tradition we've got Becky back for the annual xmas podcast. All the best laid plans go to pieces and we cast aside the planned chat and talk about the rise of adopted people's voices and some of the changes that we've seen this year in relation to education, or haven't seen. We draw the winner of the JKP quiz as well as point towards some future plans. Becky has a rather strong feeling in relation to the latest version of Home Alone.  There's plenty of bater and laughs as well as the usual Xmas quiz and the alternative queen's speech we hopefully offer a little festive cheer in what is another Xmas in complicated times.  If you'd like to share your adoption story or if there's a topic or guest you'd like us to include on the podcast then please get in touch through the aandfpodcast@gmail.com email.  Listen/subscribe on iTunes here Spotify here Google here

Hi, In this episode we take the opportunity to catch up with AUK's Becky Brooks and talk about the Adoption Barometer. We also asked her to share a few thoughts on the recently released Adoption Strategy.  We chat through specific elements such as education and ongoing support but the main thrust of the discussion was the contribution of adult adoptees to the Barometer. These focus largely on the transition to adulthood for adoptees and we discuss the specific challenges that families face in relation to access to appropriate support and services. As always with Becky it's an interesting and fun discussion with her passion shining through the minor bickering of Scott and Al.  If you like the podcast we'd really appreciate a review on iTunes as it helps get more people listening to us. If you're up for that then pop here and it will only take a minute.  Also, while you're here you could pop along here to The No Borders podcast and listen to some helpful stuff re supporting resilience training.  As always we're very happy to hear from you all and if you want to get in touch please email us at aandfpodcast@gmail.com or through our Twitter or Facebook page. As always, thanks for listening and you can also listen to the podcast: iTunes here      Spotify here       Google here

In this, our fifth Christmas special, we planned to unwrap the festive season with a light hearted banter filled episode on the joys of fostering and adoption in the Christmas season. However, in what can only be described as a flurry of controversy we get drawn into the leaked/botched ASF announcement (huzzah, good news!) as well as Becky's views on the Children's Commissioner. We then limp through a feeble attempt at a quiz and end in a glorious 'alternative adoption Queen's speech' from a fabulous surprise guest.  Generally all good though Beck does sound as though she's underwater at points that was either tech problems or egg nog.  As always, thanks for listening and if you'd like to email us with comments or suggestions the you can at AandFpodcast@gmail.com  You can also listen to the podcast:  iTunes here      Spotify here       Google here

Have you ever had a moment when you desperately needed to pray, but you couldn’t find the words?

With this being the 100th 'Episode' we though it only right to get our good old friend Becky on. We aspire to draw together all the challenges in relation to education and we certainly cover some ground: children, parent and teacher anxiety, behaviour policies, SEN guidance, lockdown, how is this going to work, Flexi teaching, homeschooling and more! It's mildly raucous at times and we even get some info on Becky's teaching career and the challenges of teaching kids the samba.  As always your views and thoughts are appreciated, you can contact the podcast through the usual routes and if you'd like to find out a little more the Adoption & Fostering Podcast's Facebook page is here, or our twitter feed here.

I've been working in the media for more than 20 years. Even though that pretty much reveals how old I really am, it's something I'm very proud to tell people. I'm a journalist who started out as a reporter in the small market of St. Joseph, MO. I was a "one-man-band" meaning, I carried all of my own equipment, shot and edited my own video and wrote all my own stories. Cut to 20 years later, and as the first ever digital entertainment reporter at NBC Los Angeles, not much has changed. I still do all of those things, but now I have the added element of posting all my stories on social media. It's a lot of work but I really love it! Becky Brooks shares that same passion for media. She is the executive director of the The Alliance for Women in Media, including journalism, digital, film and television. She says their mission is to connect, recognize and inspire women across the media industry. They do that through annual events, an interview series, the AWM Foundation, and the annual Gracie Awards, named after Gracie Allen, a media pioneer who embodied the character of the awards. BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA - MAY 21, 2019: AWMF Board Members at the 44th Annual Gracies Awards, hosted by The Alliance for Women in Media Foundation on May 21, 2019 at the Four Seasons Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. The Gracies, as they've become known, recognize exemplary programming created by women, for women and about women in all facets of media and entertainment. They also acknowledge the individuals who have made inspirational contributions to the industry. There's something so beautiful about women supporting women especially in this field. Media, film and television can be competitive and it's wonderful to see an organization who's goal is to encourage and lift up other women.

Becky Brooks has the gift of exhortation. To be an exhorter is to encourage and motivate to action at the same time. I can think of few people who do both so well.  Becky and I have known each other since we were ten years old and in Ms. Hamilton’s fifth-grade homeroom class, and I...

Then she's hurt when others leave or gossip, betraying her trust. She goes into depression and struggles for two years, writing poetry to ease the pain. She learns to trust God. Their younger son walks away for ten years, then returns and is saved. The family is still in ministry.
