Early Permanence stories
What is Early Permanence like? Am I emotionally resilient enough to cope with the risk? Will the baby be too damaged to form a bond?
We've brought together some of the experiences of Coram Early Permanence carers to help you understand what is involved and decide whether it might be right for you.
