Adoption UK received the request below from The One Show. The One Show is looking for contributors to take part in a short film we are hoping to make about Post Adoption Depression (PAD). We will need you to be able to speak on camera to our presenter/reporter about how PAD has affected you and also describe to them what it was like. If you’ve recovered, what was it that helped you get better? With this being such a sensitive subject to talk about and keeping the well being of your children at the centre of things the ideal contributor may have very young children. Alternatively your children may be grown up and PAD has been discussed as a family. Please remember this film will go our during ‘The One Show’ on BBC1. If you think you can help make this film please contact me at Julian.S---- EMAIL REDACTED ----. I am an adopter myself and I had a mild period of PAD soon after our son was placed and I’ll be directing the film. I very much look forward to hearing from you.
