Black children in care forced to wait an extra year before they are adopted

Black children have to wait considerably longer than white children to be adopted, new figures reveal.

Black youngsters under five are forced to wait in care homes and with foster parents for an average of 1,300 days before they can legally belong to another family - compared to just 955 days for white or Asian children.

The data also shows children born to white parents are three times more likely to be adopted than black children. Mail Online
