Adoption in the Black Country & Adoption Focus, the regional adoption consortium has been selected by the BBC to support them in developing an adoption storyline in a leading soap-opera.

Long running Radio 4 soap The Archers are planning a significant story around characters adopting and have approached Adoption in the Black Country & Adoption Focus to help them ensure the portrayal of the process is as accurate as possible.

Ian Groom from the regional adoption consortium said “we are delighted that the BBC has chosen Adoption in the Black Country & Adoption Focus to help them ensure the story truly reflects what the adoption process today looks like. It’s great to be approached and shows how well respected the consortium is on a national scale”

“We’ve been asked not to say too much about the script at the moment but we are really pleased to see the needs for more adopters highlighted in such a positive way”
