AS an adopted person, I know how important it is for a child to have the love, support and family life my adoptive parents gave me and my sister.

AS an adopted person, I know how important it is for a child to have the love, support and family life my adoptive parents gave me and my sister. So I would like to thank everybody who contacted the British Association for Adoption & Fostering (BAAF) to find out more about adoption.

National Adoption Week may be over for another year, but there are around 4,000 children in the UK every year who need to find a permanent family through adoption. If you think you may be able to offer a vulnerable child a loving new home, please visit www.nationaladoptionweek.org.uk which is available all year round with information and advice to help you.
