Bracknell

Anyone who has ever considered adoption can now find out exactly what's involved at the click of a mouse thanks to a new section of Bracknell Forest Borough Council's website.

Bracknell Council's Family Placement Team is seeking to build on the increased interest in adoption following the high profile media coverage and offer potential adoptors the true facts.

The web pages at: www.bracknell-forest.gov.uk/adoption provide information and answer many of the most frequently asked questions around adoption including who can adopt, what the process is and how to take the first step.

Juliette Thomas, Bracknell Forest Family Placement Team Manager, said: "Deciding to adopt is a huge decision and it is important that people have all the information they need before they take that decision.

"We know families thinking about adoption will have many questions so hopefully our new web pages will help to answer some of them. And then we hope they'll be interested enough to take the next step and get in touch with us."

The Family Placement Team has organised an open event for anyone interested in finding out more about adoption and fostering. This will take place on March 8 at the Family Centre, Warfield Road, Bracknell just off the Avis/Old Met Office Roundabout, from 7 to 9pm.
