Text of Petition:
Allow new adoptive parents
to form support bubbles in any move to do so for new parents with children
under one years old.
Additional Information:
I have just come across a petition to allow parents
of children under the age of 1 to form a support bubble. The petition
specifically states 'Mums who gave birth in 2020' as it is recognized that
being a new mum is difficult even under normal circumstances. This new rule
would be the same as the rule that is currently in place across England.
Unfortunately, overlooks new adoptive parents who
may be extremely new to parenthood but with children over the age of one.
Adopting a baby under one is very rare as almost all children in the care
system are over 12 months by the time they are placed with their forever
family. Adoption is a gruelling process and during early placement it is vital
that parents of adopted children have the support of loved ones to ease the
transition into parenthood while creating a bond with a new child.

considered completed by the Petitions Committee at its meeting on 16/03/2021.
The Committee
considered the petition for the first time. In light of this being the final
meeting of this Committee, and the likelihood that the rules regarding support
bubbles will have changed by the time its successor committee is established,
it agreed that there was little further action that it was able to take at this
time. The Committee agreed to close the petition and thank the petitioner.
