The NSW Government is establishing a special Permanency Taskforce to fast track the adoption process and provide permanent and loving homes to vulnerable children in out-of-home care. On average, it can take up to five years for such children to find a home. This is far too long, especially given that there are more than 16,000 vulnerable children in NSW needing a permanent home.

A beautiful story has surfaced about a Brisbane couple who adopted six children after struggling with infertility. The children are now aged 8 to 20 and first came into Lisa’s and Nathan’s care as foster kids.
