The truth about the UK’s adoption process
Child protection levels in
Britain are at a record high. On average, one child is taken into care in
Britain every 20 minutes and over 15,000 children were waiting to be adopted
last year alone, double that of five years ago. With unparalleled access to the
entire adoption process, this three part documentary series follows social
workers, foster carers, birth parents and adopters as heart-wrenchingly
difficult decisions are made about the future of some of Britain’s most
vulnerable children.
From the makers of the
award nominated Britain’s Sex Gangs, executive producer Brian Woods and
director Chris Eley bring you this in-depth series following the entire
adoption process, from the parents who are desperately fighting to keep their
children to the couples eagerly waiting to become adoptive parents and bring a
child into their home.
