Scottish Borders Council has announced that it is to host an adoption information roadshow later this month, supporting Adoption Week Scotland which takes place this year between 20 – 25 November.
The roadshow event will be held on Thursday, 23 November from 4pm to 7pm at the Interchange in Galashiels, and aims to increase the profile of adoption and highlight the number of children who continue to need the love, stability and security that an adoptive home can offer.
The event is is an opportunity for anyone interested in adopting to find out more and for anyone who has gone through the process to share their stories.
Those attending will be able to speak to officers from the council's Family Placement Team and voluntary agencies about local adoption services, and hear presentations by the Scotland Adoption Register, Adoption and Fostering Alliance Scotland and Adoption UK.
Topics will include how to find your birth family, the importance of adoption support, and what advice and information is available.
Councillor Tom Weatherston, Executive Member for Children and Families Social Work, said: "We have many wonderful foster carers here in the Borders without whom we could not provide the care and support needed by those children and young people going through a difficult time with their family relationships.
"Adoption is taking this to the next level where people are willing to open their hearts and their homes to a child or children on a permanent basis.
"For anyone who is thinking about adoption, this event is the ideal opportunity to speak to the people who can provide the advice and information they need to help them understand the process and whether they are ready to make the important and life changing step of putting themselves forward for consideration."
The event is free but the council does advise booking a place. This can be accessed here.
