Charity calls for more children to be adopted by same-sex couples

Adoption charity PACT is calling for more prospective parents to come forward during this 'LGBT adoption and fostering week'.

Last year, one in 12 of those children adopted in England were given homes by same-sex couples, and the children themselves are often those most in need.

Andy Dickenson reports and speaks to adoptive parent Jacek Kacprzak and sons Adam and Brandon. We also hear from former Kent Magistrate Richard Page speaking to the BBC, and PACT's Jean Smith.
