David Cameron urged to support adoption reforms

Posted by on Oct 6, 2011 in Blog | 1 comment I would like to thank the London Evening Standard for highlighting my proposals for adoption reforms when I urged David Cameron to take action: “David Cameron needs to lead on this issue and our focus should be to put children first. That means doing away with a system that keeps children in neglect until it is often too late and focuses plainly and squarely on their needs. That...

What drives me on to transform adoption laws

Posted by on Oct 4, 2011 in Blog | 1 comment I have been very touched by some of the comments posted in the Daily Mail by readers who have shared their frustrations about our flawed adoption system. It makes me all the more determined to campaign for reforms. Here are some that particularly moved me. It saddens me to read about their personal ordeals, it proves there is a lot of love out there for children who need it most: We started our...

Thanks to Best for the correction

Posted by on Jun 22, 2011 in Blog | 0 comments I would like to say a big thank you to Jackie Hatton, editor of Best magazine, for listening to my concerns about the headline used on the story about how my husband and I adopted two babies in Mexico.  This week her magazine printed an apology. “We bought our dream family,” was not exactly what I expected to see at the top of the page. A big part of my belief about adoption is that children...

Adoption should be a priority

Posted by on Jun 8, 2011 in Blog | 0 comments I was delighted to learn of a recommendation that social workers most provide Ofsted inspectors with evidence that they have always considered adoption for each child in care, and not just as “an option of last resort”. This was reported in The Times yesterday by Social Affairs Correspondent Rosemary Bennett who used my experiences as a case study saying: “Ofsted’s new...
