My solicitor is retiring from case practise, this month.
Recently I got one of those cards from the postman through the door to say there's a big parcel they tried to deliver while I was out.
Went down to the PO and there were three big parcels about as much as you'd want to carry of past correspondence, I've not had the heart to look at it all yet.
The bill for the last five years work will arrive sometime soon as well.
Barnardo's claimed last December that they had provided me with ALL the documents from my file, in a recent letter they admit that they have not. Those they have provided are very very poor quality copies. Extremely poor compared to the copies I have seen at Barkingside. So the fight goes on.
So be warned, if you're given any choice beware of Barnardos Family Connections, Adoption Support Agency is a real misnomer, 15 years grief trying to deal with Barnardos.
Barnardos Family Connections now refuse to see me even though I am in the middle of tracing my patrilineal family. They are providing no counselling, most of my documents have arrived on the doorstep via its and my solicitors. Completely against the rules. The documents that Barnardos still withhold are of great importance to my current situation.
