Adoption register

There are currently about four thousand children waiting to be placed in adoptive families. There are also many people approved as prospective adopters who are waiting to be matched with the 'right' child for them.

Adoption agencies do not have detailed information about all the children and families outside their own region, so the adoption register will work with adoption agencies and adoption consortia to make sure that all children and families have the best chance of finding a suitable match.
