An national overhaul in the adoption system could bring down the number in care. Currently, NSW has the best State Systems, but it took couple from Central Coast Sarah and James Wright years to adopt. Adoption processes differ from state to state, so a Parliamentary Committee is examining whether a national approach can make adoption easier. NSW is seen as having the most suitable model. The state government wants a thousand adoptions within four years. The Department of Social Services admits harmful past policies and practices, including forced adoption and the removal of the Torres Strait Islander children and Aboriginal, are just some of the reasons behind a relatively low adoption rate. The Parliamentary Committee’s main task is to finalise a report with recommendations likely to be submitted to the end of the year.
