CHILDREN'S CHARITY NCH URGES LONDON RESIDENTS TO CONSIDER ADOPTION |
|
|
A regional appeal by NCH, the children’s charity, is calling on people in London to consider doing something extraordinary and give a lifelong home to children through adoption. London Black Families project is holding an open evening in London on Tuesday 29th July to dispel myths around adoption and give anyone interested the chance who is Black, Asian, of mixed parentage or in a mixed relationship to find out more about adoption.
Raising the profile of adoption is top of the NCH agenda due to the shortage of adopters in the UK. There are currently 4,000 children waiting for permanent homes. It is hoped that the open evening will help to dispel common myths and misperceptions about adoption and encourage more people to adopt.
Jean Smith, Project Manager at NCH London Black Families, says: “People have been known to rule themselves out because of the misconceptions that exist around adoption. We welcome applications from all sections of the community regardless of marital status, ethnic background, sexual orientation or income level. What is important is to ensure that children are placed in loving homes which provide them with the security that they need”.
“There is currently demand for adopters from black and ethnic minority backgrounds and we would encourage applications from these groups”.
The meeting will take place at the Stockwell Community Resource Centre between 7-9pm. For more information please call the NCH Adoption Helpline on 0845 355 5533.
