Statistics released this week showed a 13% fall in the number of children in care who are being adopted, despite a target to increase adoptions by 50%.

The decrease in the rate of adoption confirms fears that more children are missing out on life in a loving family home.

But why is there a decrease when there are more people than ever considering adoption?

Some point to the bureaucratic approach to adoption in the UK, particularly the Adoption and Children Act 2002.

Such a shame that red tape and form-filling has meant children who could gain so much from a secure and loving home environment are delayed or denied that chance.
