Scotland's Adoption Register Exceeds 300 Families

More than 300 families have now adopted children through Scotland's Adoption Register, it has been announced.

Established in 2011, the Register was created to help increase the number of children who are adopted. A national resource, it enables children to be matched with families across Scotland if they cannot be placed locally.

Minister for Childcare and Early Years, Mark McDonald, said: "When a child or young person can't live at home we owe it to them to make the process of finding a stable and loving family as quick and simple as possible.

"That is why we introduced Scotland's Adoption Register to help increase the number of children who are adopted.

"I am delighted that the register is bringing families together and reducing the amount of time potential adopters and children are waiting for a placement however there is still more we can do.

"That is why we are working towards making the register available online to streamline the process even further as well as holding Scotland's first ever adoption week this November.

"All of Scotland's children deserve the best possible start in life which is why we will continue to build on the progress to date and do all we can to help children and adoptive parents both now and in the future."
