When Cathy is asked to foster little Alex, aged 7, her immediate
reaction is: Why can’t he stay with his present carers for the last
month? He’s already had many moves since coming into care as a toddler
and he’ll only be with her a short while before he goes to live with his
permanent adoptive family. But the present carers are expecting a baby
and the foster mother isn’t coping, so Alex goes to live with Cathy.
He settles easily and is very much looking forward to having a forever family of his own. The introductions and move to his adoptive family go well. But Alex is only with them for a week when problems begin. What happens next is both shocking and upsetting, and calls into question the whole adoption process.
