The 3x60' series – Finding Mum and Dad (w/t) – will focus on children who are waiting to find a family, but are known as 'hard to place'. These children are often older, are part of a sibling group, or have additional needs. Currently, there are more than 3,000 'hard to place' children waiting to be adopted.
Each episode will also follow potential parents as they meet and try and match with children at an Adoption Activity Day or Party, a way of bringing families together now used by adoption organisations across the UK.
The idea behind the events is that the chemistry of human interaction comes into play, and parents may fall in love with a child they may have dismissed on paper. With parents coming from a range of backgrounds – single parents, same sex couples or couples who have struggled to conceive – Finding Mum and Dad will capture the moment when parents and children meet for the first time.
The series will be made by Ricochet, who are working with Coram, an umbrella adoption organisation that runs activity days across the UK for children and prospective parents to meet.
Finding Mum and Dad was commissioned by Channel 4 Factual Entertainment Commissioning Editor Lucy Leveugle. The series will be produced by Ricochet with Jo Ball and Nina Davies as Executive Producers and Mark Henderson and Alex Kohler as Series Producers.
Lucy Leveugle said: "This promises to be a heart-warming series which is being made by talented programme-makers. Contrary to more longitudinal films on the subject, this series will reflect how adoption is evolving."
Jo Ball added: "We've been moved and compelled by the natural drama Adoption Activity Days provide and it is a real privilege to be granted access to these days and get an opportunity to document that amazing moment parents and children meet each other for the first time."
