Artful Dodger: The figures show that there are not enough families wanting to adopt now, for every family/parent wishing to adopt there are 2.5 times as many children waiting.. sometimes for years.
The figures also show that children who have a disability are far more unlikely to be adopted.
So in the end, the state is having to pay for foster care for years, and you want to add more into the system.
Many families think about adoption, not many actually go through to actually adopting.
