    Very touching. Such a hard job to do! I can see it from both sides but ultimately the child comes first

    It's so upsetting to hear how many children are taken into care, I think they said it was 1 child every 20 minutes! Xx

    I was so shocked by the statistics

    It was so sad and has made me even more determined to adopt when I can (need a spare room or I'd do it now). Those poor kids all they want is some love Xxx

    It is a new documentary on Channel 4 on Thursday night at 9pm.

    It follows Social Workers taking children into care due to Safeguarding concerns.

    I found it really interesting, but it was also quite upsetting.

    Try and watch it on Catch Up if you can xx

    I watched it, we're in the process of adopting our youngest and some of the stories we hear from her previous foster carer are so heartbreaking these poor children only want a loving, safe family.

    I have always said I would love to foster children, when I look at my daughter and see how much love she receives and how lucky she is, I would love to be able to make a difference to other children's lives. It's definitely one of my ambitions in life

    Good luck with your adoption xx
