We want to hear stories of millennials who have decided to become foster carers, or consider adoption.
With the rise of BirthStrikers – people choosing not to have children due to climate change – we want to hear if younger generations are considering fostering or adoption instead, and why.
More than 8,000 foster carers are currently needed across the UK, and there are concerns that as foster carers retire, there won’t be sufficient numbers of younger people to fill the gap. Meanwhile, adoptions in England and Wales have fallen by 62% in four decades.
We want to hear from millennials who have decided to become foster carers, or chosen to adopt a child. Have you done this instead – or before – becoming a birth parent? Whether it was personal, altruistic or environmental, we want to hear what motivated you.
