The reception was hosted by Julian Brazier MP, Annette Brooke, MP and Dari Taylor, Co-Chairs to the All Parliamentary Group on Adoption, and Parmjit Dhanda, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, attended to formally hand ownership of the website from the DfES to BAAF. Parmjit Dhanda said: "I’d like to congratulate BAAF and those who worked to create this excellent website on their achievement. Opening up adoption in this way will, I’m sure, have an enormous impact on many people’s lives for years to come."
BAAF was delighted that presenter Nicky Campbell and actress Nimmy March were also present to speak about their personal experiences of searching for birth family members.
