Your reflections on the motivations for the changes helped us understand how justified these are - even though it's a slap in the face for the cildren and adopting parents in the midst of the process.<br />We're in a similar situation of having to wait but actually, after doing some maths, we're not sure whether that's the best we can do. If they are reducing the number of adoptions by 90%, doesn't that mean waiting time will be ten times as high? Sorry to be blunt about this, but doesn't this also imply that children matched already with adopting parents will have to wait years in childcare? Again, I'm not trying to find fault with or blame the authorities, we're just pondering what alternatives there are - but haven't come to any conclusions yet...Olaf A.
