Hi Shef
I was in the Nursery at Farm Hill west, for a year or so from when I was still quite young until I was fostered. So I don't remember the place very well. I had expected to be able to learn more about the place from Barnardos. But all they could offer was to get me a library book on Barnardo Homes in general that I had already read.
I had to find out myself who the matron was and get then to arrange a meeting for me (thought it would not be polite to turn up on her doorstep as my brothers and sisters had). So sort of got a slight sense of how it was.
I think Barnardo's were and probably still are quite poor at this kind of work. What has been your experience of them?
It would be sort of reassuring to find someone who was adopted from Barnardo's care who disagrees with me on that latter point but I rarely do.
