Adopting a child at 51: 'I wanted to do it'

I made sure that I found out where the local football team was and had that in place before Klaus even arrived.

This week is Fostering and Adoption week. With over 90,000 children currently in care and a shortage of foster and adoptive families, we meet Jackie Reeves and her son Klaus.

Jackie adopted at the age of 51 and would like to see more older people come forward as prospective parents.
