As National Adoption Week 2024 comes to an end, Bedford Borough Council has released a short animated video to encourage more families to consider adoption, offering hope to the many children currently waiting for a loving, permanent home.
This year’s theme is aiming to highlight that ‘there is no such thing as a normal family’ with the aim of showing that the journey to a family is not always a traditional one.
Bedford Borough Council will be hosting one of its monthly virtual events on Wednesday 13 November to provide information and answer questions from prospective adopters.
The goal is to ensure that every child in need finds the loving home they deserve.
Councillor Jane Walker, Portfolio Holder for Valuing Families: Children’s Services said; “We never stop looking for innovative ways to promote adoption, along with supporting them to ensure they can provide the best possible environment for our children and young people.
“With this short film we wanted to create something that truly conveys the importance of adoption, while also breaking down some of the myths and misconceptions people may have about the process.
“If you think you could provide a loving, permanent home to one of the young people in Bedford Borough who are awaiting adoption, please don’t hesitate to get in touch to find out more.”
