15,000 Kids and Counting - Episode 2

[Lilka]

Tonight at 9.00 on Channel 4

The Search
This episode follows the search for adoptive parents for a two-year-old boy and a three and seven-year-old brother and sister

With the added challenges of having slightly older children, siblings and a child with possible health issues to place, the task for social workers Annette and Jackie is a massive one

With the future of these children in their hands and recently set government targets to meet, they struggle not to become emotionally involved as they strive to find adopters before time runs out

We weren't bothered about looks.
In fact we didn't see a photo of out little terrors until very close to matching panel due to court proceedings still being ongoing. We were beginning to get attached without a photo.

Oh god yes about prep.

I wanted to abandon it all after prep. I was totally convinced that it was all going to be misery and pain for the rest of our lives.

So glad I stuck with it

YES!

I am a bit annoyed

Ah bless Tommy

Two mummies ... God you're taking me back to that first meeting where a shy little face appeared round the door.

I love these two older foster carers. They don't give a shit what the social workers tell them. The man was kissing and cuddling Tommy which apparently is not allowed

Annoyed about the "bad picky adopters" i mean

Oh my life, the very last day and they have a potential adoptive family??

My husband was put off by the initial open day, it breaks my heart as I think we'd be amazing parents.

And how cool is Becky? Smashing kid!

Hurray!!! 11th hour adopters. Ha.

Now I'm really off!

Oh I feel like crying again now. Family for Lauren and Liam

My DD looked truly terrible, very uncared for, permanent snot lines down her face, matted hair, chapped skin

I am the sort though that has taken 3 legged, ugly cats from the rspca because I was worried no-one else would take them

So looks would not put me off
My DD is gorgeous now, she only needed fruit & veg and a daily bath!

I didn't like the remark that 'these children are resilient'

Those foster careers are amazing.

They are amazing

FC are amazing

Didn't like the way the social,worker said " just go folks "

Ah so pleased we see Lauren and Liam again.

Ahh lovely and I glad they showed a same sex couple let the haters eat poo

Just starting to watch

Really upseting seeing lovely Becky cry. What a great family.

Frozen baby :(

I couldn't do that job :( I'd cry all day!

I cried too.
