A SPECIAL event for people considering adoption is being held to help people find out about the process involved.
Lancashire County Council is asking people to think about growing their family through adoption.
There will be a presentation held by the council focussing on two different types of adoption, so that more babies and young children can go to live with their permanent family more quickly:
County Cllr Susie Charles, Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Schools, said: "What matters to us are your personal qualities and that you are able to provide a loving home, where you can support and look after a child throughout their childhood and beyond."
To adopt, you must be over 21 and live in Lancashire or close by, whatever your race, gender, sexuality, living arrangements, age or employment status.
The free event will be held at County Hall, on Fishergate, Preston next Tuesday between 6pm and 7.30pm.
Free parking for the event is available on the Arthur Street car park, next to County Hall.
