Thank you @munirawilson for asking the Prime Minister if he will confirm the future of the Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund as thousands of families wait anxiously. We were disappointed by the answer that appeared to equate the fund to ‘welfare’ @JanetDaby

What is d process/procedure to register my search? Is there a genuine intent to support and facilitate my search process or it's just a mere provision to mislead adoptees?
