A touching exploration of the new ‘adoption parties’ scheme where hard to place children are invited to an activity day with prospective adoptive parents.

This one was quite tricky to find a musical way in for; too childlike and it was saccharine, too dark and it became very heavy and depressing very quickly.  I wanted to project a sense of hope whilst keeping the fairly harsh reality of the situation in mind.  Based on peoples experiences, there was a fair amount of score under talking, so a lot of the music was necessarily quite sparse.
