CLARE FOGES: Mum adopted my baby sister at Christmas and it blessed us all. So why is it still a 'last resort' for children languishing in abusive homes?

Twas the night before Christmas Eve, 1990. Most children who came to stay were my age, nine, or older, but the phone call that Christmas was about a days-old baby girl. British singer Joss Stone, 37, smiles at her newly adopted son with husband musician Cody DaLuz. The average time it takes to be adopted from care is two years and five months – a vast chunk of a young child's life. Or maybe it's the notoriously stringent screening process people must go through, which may include inspections, questions about your relationship, requests to volunteer with children, requests to lose weight.
