Adoption of children falling by 5% – UK
EDUCATION & FAMILY
Adoption of children falling by 5%
The number of children in care adopted in England has fallen, according to Department for Education figures.
Only 60 children had adoptions completed by their first birthday, compared with 70 last year and 150 in 2007. Overall adoption numbers fell 5%.
Anne Marie Carrie, of the Barnardo’s charity, said it was a “tragedy” that bureaucracy stops some people adopting and “treats them with suspicion”.
Children’s Minister Tim Loughton said bureaucracy had to be reduced.
His comments come after the statistics revealed that, in the year ending 31 March 2011, there had been a 5% decrease in the number of children in care placed for adoption.
There were 3,050 looked-after children adopted, down from the previous year’s figure of 3,200. This was an 8% decline since 2007.
According to the figures, the average length of time children waited to be adopted was two years and seven months, and the average age at the time of adoption was three years and 10 months.
Mrs Carrie said the adoption system was partly responsible.

Rwanda’s Government Moves to Close Orphanages
Rwanda’s Government Moves to Close Orphanages
Rwanda plans to place every child living in an orphanage with a family, worrying teens who have lived in orphan communities for years.
NYUNDO, Rwanda — When given the chance to raise objections, teenage orphans at the Noel Nyundo Orphanage stood up one by one, detailing the reasons they should not be sent away.
Officials listened carefully at the meeting, taking notes. The teens said they would be treated like servants in adoptive homes, and that their real families don’t want them. Some fear they will be attacked if they tried to reclaim their family land. Others fear they will have to drop out of school.
Rwandan officials, however, said the teens’ fears are baseless and that the children will all be carefully placed with safe families.
