Just to be contentious ... Maybe there wouldn't be a need for the NSPCC if the Social Services did their job seem more concerned that children up for adoption get put with their on ethnicity group and that fat smokers are banned completely from adopting than ensuring that the children they should be watching over are safe and happy.
Here and waiting for the flame throwers
no flames here, but the issues you've raised are actually pretty important.
The question of ethnicity is important in giving child a sense of who they are and where they have been, placing a black or multi-heritage child with the classc white middle class couple will cause that child grief, will cause that child to have identity issues, a lot of effort is put into ensuring a child will fit into an adoption placement, you can't just pick any two (or one ) parents and place any child with them.
The issue of fat smokers is also relevant, you want a child to cope with yet another loss in their lives as a parent or parents dies young cause of health problems. They will have enough issues around loss as it is without giving them anymore.
Social services have a lot of knockers (me included at times) but to use a well cliched phrase, they really do have a thankful task - jump in too soon and they are accused of tormenting 'innocent' parents, too late and they are accused of being responsible for at its worst a childs death. Blame the so-called parents not those who are trying to help
