Kevin Spector chats to Barry about adopting a child through "Adoption Lancashire & Blackpool" and his experience by attending the information event.

If your dream for 2026 is to grow your family, adoption could be the most life-changing decision you ever make – for you and for a child in Lancashire or Blackpool who needs a loving home. Adoption isn’t about perfection, it’s about being there, learning along the way, and giving a child a place to call home.

If you are thinking about adoption, there’s never been a better time. Make 2026 the year you offer a child a welcome home.
