101 - Our foster-to-adopt baby spent weeks in intensive care.

Update: 2025-07-16

Description

Charlie and Ben had said they felt unable to take a child with complex medical needs but when their daughter was born and taken straight to intensive care, they knew they wanted to make it work. They talk about early contact sessions and the toll they took. They also talk about their family's delight in meeting the new baby and how much joy she's brought into their lives.
