A NEW drive to encourage those who are considering becoming adoptive parents to take the next step is being run by Edinburgh City Council during National Adoption Week.

A new brochure outlines the steps involved in the adoption and permanent fostering process. The step-by-step guide aims to clearly explain the adoption process and answers many of the key questions that people often ask.

Councillor David Key, Education Vice-Convener, said: “Adopting a child need not be a daunting prospect – instead you could be making a huge difference to a young life.”
