Really yet there 1000s of kids already in care here,hoping for a new family.

Yep. Sad state of affairs. The social care system could do with employing full time social workers rather than agency staff, but their hands are tied in the new gig economy.
One child I worked with last year was on his 4th social worker in 6 months because the others moved on to more permanent work.

Hmm.

Have you taken in or inquired about taking in any refugees?

So how are they able to look after another 3000 then.

Discussed adoption with the missus. May do when the kids have left home, but yes.
I know three people who've taken kids in from Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria.

The kids are doing really well.

Very noble, but why not just adopt a British orphan? It's like Madonna adopting from Malawi when there must be literally tens of thousands of equally good causes in the USA....

Obviously, it's far more virtuous to adopt a refugee than one of those horrible Western kids.

Adoption is not just about orphans.

Ok then let me rephrase the question why not adopt a British child rather than someone from another country?

I think the title of this thread is right.... it is pathetic when so many thousands of British chldren are in desperate need of a loving home.

Because there are plenty of people who want to adopt british children. Not many that would be willing to take a refugee in.
