Anglia Adoption

It was the first time Mary Husted had seen her son after being forced to give him up for adoption decades ago.

Erin Keer, 19, has launched a bid to become legal guardian to her younger brothers Harry, 15, and Blake, 10, after their mother died from Covid.

Children in care in the Anglia region are forced to wait an average of 20 months before moving in with adoptive parents.
