In this episode, Ian and Alice talk about choosing early permanence as a route to adoption. They are joined by baby Louise - who at the time of recording they were approved foster carers for - with the hope that they would become her parents through adoption.

They share why they thought early permanence (also known as foster to adopt) might be a pathway for them, how they met little Louise at only a few hours old and the opportunities and challenges it has presented to them.
