-The Welsh family is changing. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
-Within the past half a century... | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
-..the traditional model -of Mam, Dad and 2.4 children... | 0:00:07 | 0:00:11 | |
-..has all but disappeared. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:13 | |
-It has been replaced by an -altogether more contemporary unit. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:17 | |
-One that's more complex -and colourful than before. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:21 | |
-These are the stories -of the modern Welsh family. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:26 | |
-Last year, 280 children in Wales -were waiting to be adopted. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:38 | |
-Most were taken from their parents -by a court order... | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
-..for their own safety. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
-In this programme, -we follow two families... | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
-..on a journey -to adopt and transform the lives... | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
-..of some of those children -on the adoption list. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
-Social worker Eleri -is tasked with finding parents... | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
-..for children on the adoption list. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
-It can be overwhelming because -so many are waiting to be adopted. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:21 | |
-It's sad that children have to -wait so long for a permanent family. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:26 | |
-Though there are -almost 300 children on the list... | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
-..only 40 Welsh couples -were prepared to adopt last year. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:37 | |
-Hello. Can I help you with anything? | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
-We're just having a look at -the moment. That's all we can do! | 0:01:42 | 0:01:47 | |
-No problem. Thank you. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
-Chris and Janine have just begun -the adoption process. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
-The couple married -more than two years ago... | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
-..and tried for a family right away. | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
-We tried to conceive naturally... | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
-..but were unsuccessful. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:08 | |
-We decided to adopt. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
-You've got to be completely sure -because it's a big decision... | 0:02:14 | 0:02:19 | |
-..and a massive responsibility. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
-I've got my eye on that dress. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
-Janine's fancied a dress, -so she'd be happy having a girl... | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
-..just so that she can buy it! | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
-I'd wear that myself! | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
-At the moment, they can only dream -about the child they hope to adopt. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:43 | |
-I just want to see somebody in it. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
-We don't mind, pink or blue. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
-I'm sure we'll be back again. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
-I'm sure we'll be back again. - -Bye. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
-Good morning. Adoption. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
-Eleri works with -the West Wales Adoption team... | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
-..an agency which places children -with suitable parents. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:09 | |
-Each month, a monthly magazine -lists those who are still waiting. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:14 | |
-It's overwhelming when you consider -how many there are in Britain. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
-It helps you understand how -many families we need each year... | 0:03:19 | 0:03:23 | |
-..to meet the demand. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
-Many of these children -are vulnerable. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
-Placing them with adoptive parents -is a complex process... | 0:03:30 | 0:03:34 | |
-..that can take more than a year. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:37 | |
-It's a thorough process... | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |
-..and one that's difficult -for people to go through. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:44 | |
-We make no apologies for that. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
-It's not as simple -as pairing a child with a family. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
-You have to evaluate a child's -needs and what a family can provide. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:54 | |
-Eleri guides couples -through the process... | 0:03:56 | 0:04:00 | |
-..and assesses -their suitability as parents. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
-We're visiting Chris and Janine, -who've decided they want to adopt. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:12 | |
-We're going to discuss why they -think adoption is suitable for them. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:18 | |
-This is the third time -Eleri has met Chris and Janine. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:22 | |
-They're very aware that -the assessment process has begun... | 0:04:22 | 0:04:27 | |
-..and people can be nervous. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
-People's homes are tidy -when you visit them. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
-You can tell -they've been busy vacuuming. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
-It's important Eleri understands -Chris and Janine's hopes and fears. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:43 | |
-We'll begin by drawing a picture. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
-Draw a picture of a river, which -symbolizes the adoption journey. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:57 | |
-I want you then to draw boulders... | 0:04:57 | 0:05:01 | |
-..to signify barriers you've -encountered that've slowed you down. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:06 | |
-I'd like you to draw bridges... | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
-..to signify -what has helped you along... | 0:05:09 | 0:05:11 | |
-..and we'll discuss them -once you've finished. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
-It's hard trying to think ad hoc. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:17 | |
-Why are you struggling? | 0:05:20 | 0:05:22 | |
-I'm just thinking! | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
-Over the coming months, -we'll focus on their relationship... | 0:05:25 | 0:05:29 | |
-..and their experiences -as children... | 0:05:29 | 0:05:32 | |
-..and what kind -of upbringing they had. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:35 | |
-Also their experiences -of caring for children... | 0:05:36 | 0:05:40 | |
-..and their understanding -of adoptive children's needs. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:44 | |
-Your barriers are interesting -because a lot of people'd say... | 0:05:44 | 0:05:49 | |
-My initial concern was age. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:51 | |
-I thought if you were over 40, -then you weren't allowed to adopt. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:56 | |
-At the time, we were over 40. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:58 | |
-At the time, we were over 40. - -Janine's got the perception... | 0:05:58 | 0:06:00 | |
-..of 40 being old. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
-Actually, 40 is the new 30! | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
-How did you deal with the issues -Janine was discussing? | 0:06:05 | 0:06:09 | |
-Did you say to her, -"I want to adopt"? | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
-And Janine -was mentioning age and work. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:15 | |
-How did you respond? | 0:06:15 | 0:06:17 | |
-I said nothing at first. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:20 | |
-I said nothing at first. - -How long did that last? | 0:06:20 | 0:06:22 | |
-I'd say it was about a year or so. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
-Janine said, "I've been -speaking to people in work... | 0:06:25 | 0:06:29 | |
-"..and I think it's a good idea..." | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
-It definitely helped me, -speaking to people in work... | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
-..learning from their experiences -because it's a big decision. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:40 | |
-It's a life-changing decision -and I wanted it to be totally right. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:44 | |
-Over the coming months, Eleri -will visit Chris and Janine... | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
-..a further 12 times. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:53 | |
-The hardest thing is -going through the entire process... | 0:06:53 | 0:06:57 | |
-..not knowing -what will happen in the end. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
-Will we be successful -or will we be disappointed... | 0:07:01 | 0:07:05 | |
-..because we've been unsuccessful? | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
-Hello! | 0:07:13 | 0:07:15 | |
-Yes, hello! | 0:07:17 | 0:07:18 | |
-You drink water. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:20 | |
-Rebecca and Arthur -have successfully adopted a child. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:25 | |
-Is that nice? -Do you want to give it to me? | 0:07:26 | 0:07:28 | |
-13! | 0:07:30 | 0:07:32 | |
-He loves hearing that. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
-Where's Mam's hair? | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
-Two months ago, their son, Deio, -came to live with them. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:46 | |
-Ta-ta, Deio. Ta-ta. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
-Every morning -when Arthur goes to work... | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
-..Deio likes waving him off -in the window. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
-Ta-ta! | 0:07:58 | 0:08:00 | |
-In no time at all, -Deio became one of the family. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:04 | |
-Now that he's here... | 0:08:04 | 0:08:07 | |
-..I don't think -it feels any different... | 0:08:07 | 0:08:10 | |
-..than if he'd been born naturally. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:14 | |
-Maybe there's more wonder now... | 0:08:14 | 0:08:17 | |
-..because he's two years of age -and not a new-born baby. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:21 | |
-Look. A tiger! Yes! | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
-And another tiger. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
-This is the book we were given -by the adoption service... | 0:08:29 | 0:08:33 | |
-..which contains photographs... | 0:08:33 | 0:08:35 | |
-..of his biological parents -and foster mother. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:39 | |
-It explains all the main things -that have happened to him so far. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:44 | |
-What do you want to do? Do you -want to build a bridge? Oh, no. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:48 | |
-The book... | 0:08:48 | 0:08:50 | |
-..also includes photographs -of Rebecca and Arthur. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:54 | |
-The foster mother had the book -for some weeks before we arrived. | 0:08:55 | 0:09:00 | |
-It's obvious she'd -gone through the book with him... | 0:09:00 | 0:09:03 | |
-..because when we walked -into the room, he knew us. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:07 | |
-He pointed to us -and he obviously recognized us... | 0:09:07 | 0:09:13 | |
-..because he had -a big smile on his face. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
-That was completely unexpected. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:18 | |
-One day, perhaps Deio will -want to know more about his story. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:24 | |
-The day will come -when he'll start asking questions. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:29 | |
-This will help us explain. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:33 | |
-Today, Rebecca, Arthur and Deio... | 0:09:36 | 0:09:38 | |
-..are one happy family. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:41 | |
-It surprised me how quickly -those feelings of parental love... | 0:09:41 | 0:09:45 | |
-..took hold of me, to be honest. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:50 | |
-I thought it would've taken longer. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
-Are you ready for bed? | 0:09:53 | 0:09:54 | |
-Are you ready for bed? - -Ta-ta! | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
-Sleep time. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
-Quiet time. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:00 | |
-You're tired. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:05 | |
-This bedroom's been done... | 0:10:07 | 0:10:09 | |
-..once before. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:11 | |
-Well, -I thought it was done pretty well. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:14 | |
-However, he's just -sanded the whole room again... | 0:10:14 | 0:10:20 | |
-..and painted it. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:22 | |
-I'm particular when it -comes to things like painting... | 0:10:22 | 0:10:26 | |
-..and decorating the home. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:29 | |
-But Janine thinks I'm a little -too particular. It drives her crazy! | 0:10:29 | 0:10:34 | |
-Do I get your approval? | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
-That's good. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:38 | |
-That's good. - -Are you sure? | 0:10:38 | 0:10:40 | |
-You did make -a little boob on the ceiling. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:43 | |
-We're not sure what age child -we're going to get... | 0:10:47 | 0:10:51 | |
-..so we bought a bed -that we think is suitable... | 0:10:52 | 0:10:55 | |
-..for a child aged between -one and a half and three. | 0:10:55 | 0:11:00 | |
-It's just this waiting around... | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 | |
-..and not knowing -who we're going to get and when... | 0:11:03 | 0:11:08 | |
-..and what sex of the child, -what age of the child. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:12 | |
-It's kind of frustrating. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:14 | |
-Before Chris and Janine -are paired with a child... | 0:11:18 | 0:11:21 | |
-..Eleri must be -absolutely sure they're ready. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:24 | |
-Today she's brought the magazine -that's full of descriptions... | 0:11:25 | 0:11:29 | |
-..about the children -on the adoption list. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:32 | |
-We'll start off with this one. -I've ringed him. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:36 | |
-I use the magazine to help them get -a clearer picture of what to expect. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:41 | |
-The more complicated needs -of adopting that child. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:45 | |
-It tells you about this little boy, -who's two. He's almost two. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:51 | |
-It gives you his background and how -he's developed with foster carers. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:57 | |
-It says he's in good health... | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
-..though he was born prematurely... | 0:12:00 | 0:12:04 | |
-..and that he's not as strong -as others of the same age. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:07 | |
-Having read that, what questions -would you like to ask? | 0:12:08 | 0:12:13 | |
-Basically, he's born prematurely... | 0:12:14 | 0:12:17 | |
-..so there could be -no reason for that... | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
-..but there could be -a drug reason or an alcohol reason. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:24 | |
-You'd like to know more -about the background? | 0:12:24 | 0:12:27 | |
-Possibly, yes. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:29 | |
-No, you'll want to know more -about the background. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:32 | |
-Yes, I'd want to know more -about his background. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:35 | |
-I've made them think about... | 0:12:36 | 0:12:38 | |
-..what they can handle -and what they can't handle. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:41 | |
-It's a continuous process -and people change. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
-What they say in the beginning -changes by the end. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:49 | |
-Will you find it hard -having a difficult child? | 0:12:49 | 0:12:52 | |
-I don't think I'd find it difficult. -I've plenty of patience. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:56 | |
-Do you think you're realistic -about how hard it might be...? | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
-Maybe we've made it sound -as if it's going to be easy... | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
-..but we're fully aware -it's not going to be easy. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:08 | |
-We don't know -what that child has been through. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
-You have to take on board -uncertainty. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:14 | |
-Even if Eleri believes Chris -and Janine are ready to adopt... | 0:13:16 | 0:13:20 | |
-..there's no certainty -it will happen. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 | |
-At the end of the day, we make -the assessment as individuals... | 0:13:24 | 0:13:28 | |
-..but the information is shared -with a panel who have the final say. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:33 | |
-The panel of experts may decide that -Chris and Janine aren't ready... | 0:13:33 | 0:13:38 | |
-..to be paired with a child. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:40 | |
-..to be paired with a child. - -It's a waiting game. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:42 | |
-That feeling of not knowing -what's around the corner... | 0:13:43 | 0:13:47 | |
-..is a little unsettling. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:51 | |

-Not long now, babe. Nervous? | 0:13:59 | 0:14:02 | |
-It's an important day -for Chris and Janine. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:06 | |
-Today, they will meet -a panel of experts... | 0:14:06 | 0:14:09 | |
-..who will decide -if they're suitable for adoption. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:12 | |
-See if I missed any bits. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:14 | |
-See if I missed any bits. - -Yep, you have. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:16 | |
-Keep still a minute. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
-There we are. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:19 | |
-I've got clean pants on. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:25 | |
-I've got clean pants on. - -Have you got your glasses? | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
-Off they go, to face -one of the most important stages... | 0:14:30 | 0:14:34 | |
-..of the adoption process. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
-On a scale of 1-10, -how nervous are you then? | 0:14:38 | 0:14:41 | |
-11. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:43 | |
-And a half. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:45 | |
-I'm about two, maybe. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:48 | |
-Is that all? -You're so cool and chilled. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:52 | |
-Today is all about our future. | 0:14:56 | 0:15:00 | |
-Yeah, I know. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:01 | |
-Yeah, I know. - -It's a yes or no. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:03 | |
-Just be nice to them -and smile lots. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:06 | |
-Eleri meets the pair -to offer a final word of advice. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:14 | |
-Hello, how are you? | 0:15:15 | 0:15:17 | |
-Alright? Are you alright? | 0:15:17 | 0:15:18 | |
-Alright? Are you alright? - -Fine, thanks. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:20 | |
-Right, are you ready for this? | 0:15:20 | 0:15:23 | |
-Yes. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:24 | |
-He's so calm. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:26 | |
-He's so calm. - -Are you? | 0:15:26 | 0:15:28 | |
-Do you think it's a done deal? | 0:15:28 | 0:15:30 | |
-No, there's -an element of uncertainty... | 0:15:31 | 0:15:35 | |
-..but at the same time... | 0:15:36 | 0:15:38 | |
-..positive thinking plays a part. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
-It's important -that it's fresh in our minds. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:45 | |
-The panel will ask us questions -which we have to answer. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:50 | |
-How many are on the panel? | 0:15:51 | 0:15:52 | |
-How many are on the panel? - -Up to 12. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:54 | |
-That many? | 0:15:54 | 0:15:56 | |
-That many? - -Yes. You look alarmed, Chris. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:59 | |
-I'm nervous -about going before the panel. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:04 | |
-That feeling of disappointment -is at the back of my mind. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:09 | |
-That we may not be successful - -that's what bothers me more... | 0:16:09 | 0:16:13 | |
-..than going before the panel. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
-I've given them my recommendation. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
-I've told them you should be -taken on as adoptive parents. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:24 | |
-They'll have their view as well. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:27 | |
-It's not a rubber stamping. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:29 | |
-It's not a rubber stamping. - -Cross fingers and hope for the best. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:32 | |
-There we are then. -We'll wait and see. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:35 | |
-Thanks, Eleri. See you later. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:38 | |
-They're walking into a room -with at least 10 people... | 0:16:38 | 0:16:42 | |
-..who they've never met before. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:44 | |
-They're right to be nervous. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
-It's crunch time. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:52 | |
-I've never wanted an hour -to go by so quickly in all my life! | 0:16:52 | 0:16:55 | |
-We have to wait for a little while -until they call us. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:02 | |
-We go before the panel first -and answer any questions... | 0:17:02 | 0:17:06 | |
-..after they've read your report. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:08 | |
-Then they ask -the prospective parents to come in. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:13 | |
-Though I tell them, "They're nice... | 0:17:14 | 0:17:17 | |
-"..they want to see you -at your best"... | 0:17:17 | 0:17:19 | |
-..people are still nervous. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:21 | |
-We're nervous as social workers too. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:25 | |
-They might be critical -about our assessment of them. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:29 | |
-You're nervous too -as a social worker. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:33 | |
-This is the report I've written -about Chris and Janine. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:36 | |
-This is what the panel will -look at today before we go in... | 0:17:37 | 0:17:41 | |
-..and then they'll ask me questions -about the report... | 0:17:41 | 0:17:45 | |
-..and some things -they'll want to know more about. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:49 | |
-Would that have been -at the beginning of the year? | 0:17:51 | 0:17:54 | |
-But there's a problem. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:57 | |
-They have an old version -of the report to show the panel. | 0:17:57 | 0:18:01 | |
-So, what have they got? -The revised one? | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
-No, this one. The one I printed off -is not the revised one. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:10 | |
-They must quickly try -to correct the version. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
-Was that the only date? | 0:18:14 | 0:18:16 | |
-I remember you said before -there was something else as well. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:20 | |
-There's no time to do more, -as the panel calls Eleri... | 0:18:21 | 0:18:24 | |
-..to present the case. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:27 | |
-I'll just check that out. -That's fine. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:29 | |
-I'll be back in in a little bit. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:35 | |
-Oh, dear me! | 0:18:50 | 0:18:52 | |
-Hello. Sorry to keep you. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
-Can I introduce you to Anne -Williams, who's our chairperson. | 0:18:57 | 0:19:01 | |
-The panel's chairperson -comes to speak to Chris and Janine. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:06 | |
-The panel looks at the work -Eleri's been doing with you... | 0:19:06 | 0:19:10 | |
-..and then -we have questions to ask you. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:13 | |
-We'll try to make it as relaxing -as we can because it is a big step. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:17 | |
-Ready? | 0:19:17 | 0:19:19 | |
-Is it cold in there? -I'm having hot flushes anyway. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:23 | |
-Everyone -has to go before the panel... | 0:19:38 | 0:19:41 | |
-..so they can consider you suitable -to be parents. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:45 | |
-We'll close the blind. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:48 | |
-For Deio's mother, Rebecca... | 0:19:51 | 0:19:53 | |
-..the experience of going before -the panel is fresh in her mind. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:57 | |
-You're in a room and there's 15-20 -people sitting around a table... | 0:19:57 | 0:20:03 | |
-..asking you questions. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:06 | |
-It's quite formal... | 0:20:06 | 0:20:10 | |
-..and quite frightening, in a way. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:12 | |
-You're aware that your life -is in the panel's hands. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:19 | |
-When the panel recommended Rebecca -and her partner for adoption... | 0:20:20 | 0:20:25 | |
-..everything changed. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:28 | |
-Within a few months, their son Deio -came to live with them. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:32 | |
-People say -"He's very lucky to have you"... | 0:20:32 | 0:20:35 | |
-..but I feel we're the lucky ones... | 0:20:36 | 0:20:39 | |
-..for having him. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:42 | |
-We've definitely benefited -from this situation. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:47 | |
-That'll do. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:49 | |
-Right, what's next? | 0:20:51 | 0:20:54 | |
-Yes, lovely. Thanks very much. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
-Yes, lovely. Thanks very much. - -Thank you, all. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:00 | |
-For Chris and Janine, -the interview's over. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:09 | |
-I feel it went alright. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:12 | |
-I was nervous when I first went in. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
-I felt a positive vibe from them. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:17 | |
-I think -we're going to be alright now. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:20 | |
-I don't know. -You can never say never. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:23 | |
-Won't be long now, babe. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
-There's nothing left to do -but await the decision... | 0:21:26 | 0:21:30 | |
-..and hope for the best. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:33 | |
-I do feel Chris and I have never -been dealt a good hand of cards... | 0:21:33 | 0:21:38 | |
-..and we've always -come up against a brick wall... | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
-..or something negative -has happened. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
-We've never really, -since the day we met... | 0:21:44 | 0:21:48 | |
-..have anything, other than meeting, -really positive happen. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:52 | |
-So this is our chance now, I think. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
-Yeah. Definite. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:57 | |
-At last, the wait is over. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:05 | |
-Your ordeal is over. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:11 | |
-I'm very pleased to tell you -we are recommending you as adopters. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:15 | |
-Thank you. -Thanks for all your hard work. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:21 | |
-This is just the start now, right? | 0:22:21 | 0:22:23 | |
-This is just the beginning for them. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:27 | |
-We're happy it's all over -and that we've been successful. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:33 | |
-It's a big weight off our shoulders. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:36 | |
-This is just the beginning. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:41 | |
