In England:
Boys wait twice as long for families in some parts of the country, as agencies struggle to challenge negative attitudes among parents, according to research by the British Association of Adoption and Fostering (BAAF).Black boys in particular take time to be adopted. One agency complains, though, that social workers are too conservative in trying to stick to middle class, married couples:
"...we have to work harder to get some social workers to see what a single person or a same-sex couple can offer a child."It would be an odd consequence of the attitudes of white married couples if it meant more black kids end up in gay households.
