Adoption reform David Cameron has told the Times that he wants potential adopters to have a far greater say over their future family. Under the present system, parents who have been approved for adoption wait for social workers to find them a child or children. However, the PM wants parents to be granted access to the national register of all children awaiting adoption and empower them to request that a particular match is pursued on their behalf. Mr Cameron will also insist that parties or activity days that bring together parents and children waiting to be adopted are introduced nationwide. He comments that despite reforms to speed up the adoption process, there is still much to do. He believes that by granting parents a greater role in choosing their children, more adopters may be encouraged to come forward. An editorial in the Times applauds the Government’s efforts to speed up the process. A number of case studies are all also featured. Source: The Times, Page: 1, 8     The Times, Page: 2 Send to Friend
