Inter-racial adoption- do you have an opinion on it?
Many of you must have seen Tim Loughton's comments on inter-racial adoption a few days the other day and how the coalition government will look to relax rules and guidance on what families black/asian/mixed-race etc children can be placed with. Here's a link for anyone who is interested but hasn't seen owt about it ...

So, do you have much of an opinion on it? I grew up in Hackney, where there was and still is and large poster campaign practically begging black people to adopt, but I'd never really thought of this as an issue.
I think I'm leaning towards supporting Loughton's point of view- what is more important is that a child is with a loving family.
