A new report suggests significant reforms to adoption practices in England, promoting increased face-to-face contact between adopted children and their birth families. Current contact methods, primarily limited to biannual letters, are deemed outdated by adoption experts. While some families advocate for these changes as overdue, others express concern that they may discourage prospective adopters amid a decline in adoption rates. The report, which follows a four-year review, aims to act as a catalyst for positive changes in the adoption system, balancing the emotional needs of adopted children with the complexities of their unique situations.
