Placing London children with London families is a key priority, as we believe it is really important that children grow up within London’s diverse community. You can listen to a podcast of personal experiences of those who have adopted and those who have been adopted.Ĭouncillor Nagpal continued: “Adopt London West are committed to placing the small number of children who need adoptive placements with families who reflect their backgrounds as closely as possible. You Can Adopt and adoption agencies across England, including Adopt London West in Ealing, have launched a new drive to find resilient and loving adoptive parents by showcasing the support available for them both before and after their adoption order is granted. Over half of children (59%) in London, waiting for adoption, wait for an average of eight months or longer to be adopted. But it is important that our adopters reflect the range of children we have who are looking for a secure loving home and have time, patience, understanding, and kindness.” “And we have children now who are waiting to meet them. “Adoptive parents can come from all walks of life,” said Councillor Kamaljit Nagpal, cabinet member for a fairer start. Adoption is an exciting, challenging and life-changing experience, and a wonderful way of bringing new families together.
