Mae 6 o bob 10 o’r plant sy’n aros am leoliadau mabwysiadu yn rhan o grŵp o frodyr neu chwiorydd. Mae hynny’n golygu bod angen arbennig am fabwysiadwyr posibl sy’n barod i fabwysiadu grŵp o blant. Yn ogystal, mae angen pobl i fabwysiadu plant sydd ag anghenion iechyd a datblygu ychwanegol. Mae angen rhagor o ofalwyr maeth ar yr awdurdodau lleol hefyd, wrth i lawer o’r gofalwyr presennol agosáu at oed ymddeol (55 yw oed gofalwyr maeth ar gyfartaledd).
Of the children waiting to be placed for adoption, 6 in 10 are part of a sibling group, which means there is a particular need for prospective adoptive parents who are prepared to adopt a group of children. Similarly, there are children with additional health and developmental needs who need to be adopted. There is also a need for more local authority foster carers as many foster carers approach retirement (the average age of foster carers is 55).
