Here's the link to the final House of Lords Select Committee report:
Adoption: Post legislative scrutiny
Adoption: Post legislative scrutiny (pdf version)
Hot off the press: here's the report on Adoption that myself and other members of the House of Lords have worked on for many months.
We argue that adoptive parents should receive more support to help them care for vulnerable children. This is because children adopted from care have often experienced neglect and abuse and therefore may have a range of complex needs. There should be a legal obligation on Local Authorities and others to provide post-adoption support to children and adopters, where that support would previously have been paid for by the state: it just isn't fair to expect adoptive parents to pick up the financial price tag (on top of the emotional challenges) from giving a loving home to Britain's most vulnerable children.
