National Adoption Week runs from October 17 – 23 and Merton Council is running a number of drop-ins and adoption information meetings for people who are interested in finding out more about adoption.
The Merton adoption team will be on hand to answer questions, talk about children waiting to be adopted, dispel myths and encourage as many people as possible to pose for selfies with the #SupportAdoption sign to pledge their support on social media.
