| View in browser Welcome to April's edition of B. inspired! This month we highlight the positive outcomes of open adoption and Anna and Widja share their experience of being foster carers. We also show you where you can grab a designer bargain and introduce you to just one of our children's champions who is making an impact on the youth of today. Barnardos launches ground-breaking adoption research New research from Barnardos Australia and the University of Oxford has revealed that children who were adopted had significantly better life outcomes when compared with children that remained in foster care, particularly when it comes to education and employment.   "I couldn't have asked for better parents. As much as they say the success is mine, it never would have happened without them. - Damian on his adoptive parents   Hear more from Damian and our researchers   Meet our wonderful foster carers Anna and Widja “My kids love that we’re foster carers, that we can give other kids a life that they lived, all the things that they got to do as children.” In our new video, foster carers Anna and Widja share their touching stories of caring for vulnerable children and how it has transformed their lives.
