This short, colourful booklet is part of CoramBAAF’s series of publications for children and young people, which aim to explain concepts in adoption, fostering and kinship care that they may find difficult to understand.
Where are my brothers and sisters and why are we not living together? Are they safe and being looked after? Do I have siblings I don’t know about? These and other questions that looked after and adopted children may have about their siblings, are covered in this booklet for children and young people.
Colourful, vividly illustrated and presented in accessible and jargon-free language, this booklet provides an easily understandable introduction to the subject. Details of useful organisations are included.
This is ideal for looked after and adopted children who have, or who may have, siblings who are not living with them.

This is a great book for children going into foster care, or who have recently been placed in a foster family. The author highlights new words, explaining what these terms mean and helping the children to understand.
