´óÏó´«Ã½

We don’t often hear about adoptions that break down, but on Woman's Hour on ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio 4 former ´óÏó´«Ã½ journalist Eleanor Bradford spoke to Emma Barnett about her "heartbreaking" decision to return her adopted son to the care system. She had adopted the boy eight years ago.

Eleanor and Emma were joined on the programme by Sue Armstrong Brown from Adoption UK who said that between 3-4% of adoptions break down, according to their research.

You can hear more about Eleanor’s experience by listening to the Woman’s Hour episode from 29 November on ´óÏó´«Ã½ Sounds.
