*Cumbria Adoption is asking members of the LGBTQ+ community to consider whether they could change the life of children in need of a new loving family, during LGBTQ+ Adoption & Fostering Week, which returns next week.*
The annual awareness week, which runs from March 4 to 10, is organised by charity New Family Social, the UK’s peer-support charity for LGBTQ+ adopters, foster carers and special guardians. Cumbria Adoption, along with Cumbria Fostering, is one of 120 adoption and fostering agencies nationwide which are supporting the campaign by urging members of the LGBTQ+ community to find out more about adoption and fostering at our upcoming events.
*Attend an upcoming event:*
Wherever you are on your adoption journey, our events next week offer those thinking about adoption the chance to find out more and to speak to our friendly team. No need to book, just come along:
* *Monday 4 March* – visit our information stand at Kendal Library from 12pm to 2pm
* *Friday 8 March* – come along to our drop in at Costa Coffee in Whitehaven’s Market Square from 12pm to 2pm
*Cllr Sue Sanderson, Cabinet member for Children’s Services Education and Skills at Westmorland and Furness Council,* said: “We know from experience that same sex couples can be excellent adopters and have so much to offer children who need a loving and caring home. Our events next week offer a fantastic opportunity to find out more about the excellent training and support we offer.”
*Cllr Emma Williamson, Executive member for Children and Family Wellbeing at Cumberland Council*, said: “Cumbria Adoption service is proud to support LGBTQ+ Adoption & Fostering Week again this year and we hope that by doing so, we can reach even more people from all communities across the county who are considering adoption.”
