Share your story of inter-racial adoption

The children's minister, Tim Loughton , called this week for inter-racial adoption in Britain to be made easier . Loughton argues it is currently too difficult for parents to adopt children of different races. He told the Times: "Too many social workers are holding out for the perfect match, so suitable couples are turned away and children are staying in care for years as a result. Social workers think that if they wait a few more years the right family will be found. But if there are no other issues, the couple offering a permanent home should be approved even if it is not an ethnic match." Although there is no bar to inter-racial adoption, it can be a difficult and timely process, he argued. If this is something you have experienced, we would like to hear from you for a G2 feature.
