16-22 October is National Adoption Week 2023
This year National Adoption Week promotes discussion around how adoption has evolved to put children’s identity at its heart.
The organisers of National Adoption Week, You Can Adopt, brought together a group of adopted people – from baby boomers to Gen Z – to share their story in a photo series by Royal, fashion and portrait photographer Philip Sinden, who is adopted himself.
The photography collection captures portraits of those adopted between the 1960s and 2010s, with each portrait featuring a backdrop of words that brings to life how adoption as shaped and continues to shape their life, whilst depicting how adoption has changed over the generations.
Watch the moving short film about the series here:
