Vale of Glamorgan Adoption Agency needs you! - 22/02/07

 

The Vale of Glamorgan Adoption Agency is looking for people from all walks of life who could consider adopting a child.

 

Adoption can be challenging and rewarding, and adoptive parents need to be able to offer a lifetime commitment to a child.

 

Adoption Team Manager at the Vale Council Jean Letton said: "There are many myths about who can become adoptive parents, and people assume that they have to be married, wealthy and of a certain age.

 

"What we are looking for are people who can match the needs of children wanting adoption, people, for example, who could take the younger or older child or maybe a child with a disability or, perhaps, could keep brothers and sisters together by adopting a sibling group.

 

"We welcome applications from everyone irrespective of relationship status, age, sexuality, ethnic background or wealth."

 

Anyone requiring further information or just looking for a chat about the process can contact Jean Letton or Assistant Team Manager Chris Williams on 029 2035 0954 or e-mail adoption@valeofglamorgan.gov.uk
