"The Bligh Government is looking for a community organisation to run a new support service for people involved in adoptions, Child Safety Minister Phil Reeves said.
Mr Reeves said applications were being sought from non-government organisations to provide the statewide service as part of the government’s adoption laws reforms currently before Parliament. The new adoption support service will have a free call helpline, local counsellors in the south-east and later in regional Queensland, as well as providing training in adoption issues for health professionals and other counsellors."
