No child should have to wait longer than another to be adopted.

“There is a misconception that there aren’t many black children that need adoptive homes because people assume that informal adoptions take place, that is not the case – and why we need more people from the black communities to consider adoption.

Social workers do their best to keep kids safe day in day out. It’s an incredibly hard job made even more difficult by lockdown. Of course mistakes are made - every profession, every human makes mistakes. We need to grow up as a society - blame and panic make things worse

If you’re thinking about adopting a child and live in east London or the surrounding area, come to an online ‘Meet the Adopter’ event.

You’ll hear about the reality of adoption today and have your questions answered. To book, visit adoptlondon.org.uk/events/

And we’ll be back here tonight at 7.30-9.30pm so if you can’t make the daytime session, then please join us later on.
