Synopsis
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.
