Adoption: a 🧵.
It's exactly three years since our daughter's social worker told us that they couldn't provide us with a passport for her, because it turned out (despite their previous insistence otherwise) that she wasn't a British citizen.

The background: every UK local authority pledges to provide every child taken into their care with citizenship. However, because the UK govt charges more than £1k per application, local authorities routinely let that issue slide.
This leaves the most vulnerable children in our society stateless unless - and until - they are adopted. White baby girls are most likely to be adopted (you can work out the rest), so this disproportionately affects Global Majority boys who are in the care system.
