I am talking about adoption today on BBC Morning Live, which starts at 9:15.
Try and watch it if you want to know more about adoption, and how the power of a permanent home can transform the lives of children.

As a NED at the Jersey FA, I am proud to support the Associations efforts to increase the number of girls playing football.
I love this by Liverpool FC, helping to raise awareness of why girls stop playing, and to empower them to Play On! youtu.be/-Be-ob7Dz7A
Thank you @SanamHarinanan for supporting the campaign 🙏

Very exciting to explore this @CathyAshley
Delighted that @FamilyRightsGp has got £ to explore how the #Lifelong Links approach (designed for children in care), could be used to enable adopted children to safely know birth relatives & other people that are meaningful for them.
The power of family and a permanent home can be transformational. It is of course challenging, but most certainly worthwhile, particularly with the right support #YouCanAdopt
The support adoptive families receive along their adoption journey can be invaluable ❤️
Whether it's from your agency, social worker, or a support group, having a support system is essential in navigating adoption.

Really pleased to be launching our new campaign to raise awareness of the children who wait longest to be adopted, and the support available for adopters and adopted people.
Indeed we do 🙏

The John Lewis Xmas ad is supporting foster care. I love it.
And I absolutely love their commitment statement on supporting care leavers.
This is the sort of leadership we need for our most vulnerable children - thank you #fostercare #leadership linkedin.com/posts/johnlewis…
Really looking forward to catching-up with friends and colleagues, old and new, at this weeks #NCAS2022
Children adopted from care must be given every opportunity to maintain relationships with their birth families, when it is safe to do so. Adopters, adoptees and birth families need support, advice and guidance to get this right for all parties to adoption.
A really important piece to ensure children’s relationships are valued and their identity respected @ADCStweets @CVAA_UK @AdoptionUK @PACUKadoption @CoramBAAF @prof_beth_neil @markowers73 Support for birth families is critical to help them meet their child’s continuing needs.
