As part of National Adoption Week, Sheffield Council is asking more people to come forward to help change the lives of children across the city by adopting a child. Last year 39 children were adopted in Sheffield and 25 children are currently looking for an adoptive family. Baillor Jalloh reports for Sheffield Live!
National Adoption Week is designed to raise awareness of the number of children in need of a loving home. The week long campaign aims to encompass all aspects of adoption, including the challenges of adoptive parenting, stories of adopted children and those of others whose life has been touched by adoption. Sheffield Live! reporter Azz Mohammed spoke to Liz Coates, assistance service manager at the adoption and fostering service.
