Claire Friday

Claire works as Support Manager at Adoption UK, a national charity supporting both prospective adopters as well as adopters. Claires role is managing the front line support offered including their national helpline, buddy support and more intensive one-to-one support through Adoption UK's Parent Consultation Service.

Claire is an adoptive parent as well as having a birth child and through her work, as well as personal expeience, she has gained insight into the difficulties experienced by families at varying stages of their adoption journey. It's essential for parents to have realistic and timely support not only at the outset of their adoption journey but throughout in order to fully support them in their role of therapeutic parenting.
