Summary

Born in a prison and removed from his drug-dependent mother, rejection is all that 7-year-old Alex knows.

When Cathy is asked to foster little Alex, aged seven, 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.

Another beautiful story

Made me so sad as I’m 40 this year and desperate to have children! I can’t even adopt cause you have to have atleast 2 bedrooms but it’s so expensive! Yet you have this family with all the money and space and they send this lovely little boy away

Heartbreaking😭😭😭🤬🥺

Proof of just how deep words can stick

An emotional read that forces you to feel as if you're Alex himself. Caprivating narrative!
