flag UK faces adoption gap: 190 children wait in Cumbria and North East despite only 93 approved families.

flag National Adoption Week 2025 highlights a growing gap between children awaiting homes and available adoptive families in the UK, particularly in Cumbria and the North East, where 190 children wait for placement despite only 93 approved families. flag Adoption agencies are urging more people to consider adoption, dispelling myths about needing a “perfect home,” as surveys show most adoptive parents initially doubted their suitability. flag Many adoptive families live in small homes, rent, or lack gardens, yet provide stable, loving environments. flag Free online and in-person information sessions are being offered to help interested individuals learn about the process, support systems, and timelines without pressure to proceed.
