Central Bedfordshire Council: Shining a light on important relationships and memories for adopted people

Date Added: 18/10/2022

Today marks the launch of National Adoption week, which this year focuses on the importance of adopted people being able to connect with their past, through ‘memory boxes’.

In this short film, adopted people explore the relationships and memories from their own ‘memory boxes’ and keepsakes from their lives before and after they were adopted, which have helped them develop and have an impact on their sense of identity.  The emotional film brings to life the connections they have, including Tiegan, who speaks with her birth father about their memories:

“Finding out about my birth father when I was 18 was a really happy moment: knowing each other, even if it didn’t come to anything helped me understand where I stood in the world.  I also found out my dad kept a sonogram from my birth mother’s pregnancy, which I have and is so special to me.  To know he kept that is amazing, it shows my life is an ongoing journey.”
