Industry News: LGBT Adoption & Fostering Week 2016 is coming!

LGBT Adoption & Fostering Week returns to the UK, from 7-13 March.

Now in its fifth year the week is a fantastic opportunity for lesbian, gay, bi and trans prospective parents to find out more about the fostering and adoption processes.

Agencies across the country organise information sessions specifically for LGBT potential applicants – in 2015 there were 55 such events, backed by social media campaigns that engaged 9.4 million people. And LGBT people are responding – in 2015, 1 in 12 adoptions in England were to same-sex couples.

Want to find your nearest information session about fostering or adoption, organised by an agency keen to talk to LGBT people? Check out our dedicated events site, where you can  also find out more about LGBT Adoption & Fostering Week.
