ANYONE thinking about starting or growing their family through adoption has been invited to an information evening to find out more.
Following a short presentation, members of Lancashire County Council's adoption team, including social workers, will be available to answer questions, talk you through the process and offer confidential advice.
Among the 100 Lancashire children currently ready to be adopted, there are 13 two-sibling groups and five three-sibling groups.
County Councillor Susie Charles, Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Schools, said: "We need people from all backgrounds to offer a permanent home and family to children who are not able to live with their birth family."
The event will be held at County Hall, on Fishergate Hill in Preston, from 6pm to 7.30pm on Tuesday 16 January 2018.
