HELPING brothers and sisters to stay together is the theme of National Adoption Week in Lancashire this year.
Lancashire County Council said it always look for adopters, but from October 16 to October 22, there will be a focus on finding people who would be willing to keep families together by adopting siblings.
Council bosses said brothers and sisters are among the children who wait longest to be adopted, as there are not enough people coming forward who are able to give them safe, permanent and loving family.
To find out about adoption, contact the council on 0300 123 6723.
