The important link between life journey work and contact with birth family, siblings and important people. 

Contact is an integral part of ongoing life journey work. Direct or indirect contact gives the child real, meaningful information about their origins and prevents gaps in their life story as they grow - by giving the child and their adoptive family up to date information on their birth family and other important people in the child's life. The resources in this section will support you in understanding the important link between contact and life journey work.
