Many people visiting this website won’t have met me. But a lot of you will have seen my face in Blackburn town centre.
This is down to me being the grey-haired bloke in the latest poster being used by Blackburn with Darwen Council’s Adoption Team. I jumped at the chance of doing my bit for the recruitment campaign and hope it will encourage some of you to consider finding out more about becoming adopters.
Every year, there are around 50 young children in Blackburn with Darwen who need adoptive parents. They range from babies and toddlers to children up to the age of 8 – and occasionally older.
The good news is that most people are able to adopt and with Blackburn with Darwen, you’ll be supported by one of the best adoption teams around.
They have introduced a quicker adoption process, which takes around six months to complete and includes training in child development, forming families and the special issues involved in adopting.
