"The Bligh Government’s proposed reforms to adoption laws will offer some children in long-term foster care the opportunity be part of a family of their own. Speaking at the Foster Care Queensland conference in Caloundra, Mr Reeves said the Adoption Bill 2009 recognises adoption, including by their foster carers, may be the best way for children who could never return to their parents to have long-term security and wellbeing as part of a family."
