“Adoption is a huge decision and we are determined to help make the process as smooth as possible and ensure adoptive parents are supported. Adoption Week Scotland can really help in that. Our efforts are about getting it right for every child and making Scotland the best place in the world to grow up in. This week is an important opportunity to highlight the huge difference that adoption can make to the lives of children and young people.” John Swinney, Deputy First Minister.
