‘You Can Adopt’ campaign launches in Oxfordshire

Posted on September 16, 2020

Vulnerable children in Oxfordshire are set to benefit from a new campaign, launching Wednesday 16 September, designed to dispel myths around who is eligible to adopt and encourage more residents to consider the role.

An emotive FILM features an adoptive family from South Oxfordshire; Charlotte and Peter Brown and singer Sinitta (see photo above, with her mum, Miquel Brown).

Oxfordshire is playing a key role in the national #YouCanAdopt campaign, which explores what the adoption process involves and highlights the need for more adopters.

Most of Adopt Thames Valley’s assessment and training has transferred to virtual platforms to ensure the ‘recruitment’ process continues, despite the pandemic.
