Vanessa Feltz and ITN hear my plans for adoption reform
Posted by Francesca on Oct 6, 2011 in Blog | 1 commentWhat a whirlwind day following the announcement of my Adoption With Humanity adoption reform plans.
However, it is a day tinged with sadness following the death of one of the greatest men, Steve Jobs, a perfect example of how adoption can work beautifully. Please read about it here.
Yet we are still agonising over whether adoption should or not be first choice for children languishing in care.
This morning I was on the Vanessa Feltz show on BBC radio discussing the merits of mixed race families with her. This afternoon on ITN London Tonight. I was yet again calling on David Cameron to step up to the challenge facing thousands of children in care today. During his Conservative Party conference speech this week, he said “this might not be the biggest issue facing this country but it is the biggest issue facing these children”.
I am asking the father in him to make this his biggest issue to solve. Now. For their sake.
You can help too by signing our e-petition which urges the government to take action.
I urge the UK government to please take swift action to reform the adoption process.
