We want to adopt and have spent the last 18 months training and preparing to adopt. There is no legal reason why my husband and I cannot adopt.
In fact we have gone through the rigorous and time consuming process of the Independent Review Mechanism (IRM)* and have gained a recommendation as suitable to adopt straight away. We believe we should therefore be provided with a route to adopt.
IRM are convinced of our value as potential adopters.
David Cameron, you said "this government is going to tear down the barriers that stop good, caring potential adoptive parents from giving a home to children who so desperately need one."
We are asking you to keep your word.
Last year 6,800 children were waiting to be adopted. So why haven't we adopted?
Our Local Authority have refused to accept our IRM recommendation. Therefore the cost of their 18 month assessment of us will go to waste. So will the £2,500+ they paid the IRM.
(*IRM is the Independent Review Mechanism operated by British Association for Adoption and Fostering for the Department of Education)
