Charity seeks adoptive family for blind twin sisters

Summarised from Reading Chronicle's report · Updated 21 Oct, 20:32 · Archive

A charity is searching for adoptive parents for two-year-old blind twins Lily and Rose.

Parents And Children Together (PACT) is seeking an adoptive family for two-year-old twin sisters Lily and Rose, who are blind. The appeal was launched during National Adoption Week, which runs from 19 to 25 October. One of the twins has epilepsy, which is managed with medication, and both require specialist equipment at home. Both children continue to make progress with support from their current carers and specialist teams.

Ana Billenness, adoption team manager at PACT, said adopters do not necessarily need specialist experience. 'What matters most is a willingness to learn, patience, resilience and a commitment to providing a loving, secure home,' she said. PACT offers full training, guidance and therapeutic support to help families meet the children's needs. Anyone interested can contact the charity for an informal conversation about adoption.
