Following the establishment of a national legislature in Wales in 1999 the third sector has entered into a pioneering cross-sectoral partnership with the Welsh government. This article presents the results of a research project that has studied the new structures of devolved governance through the expectations and participation of voluntary organisations representing three marginalised or 'minority' groupings: women, disabled people, and those from an ethnic minority background. The findings reveal that despite varying levels of expectation expressed by 'minority' voluntary groups, active engagement of minority groups in policy making has been a feature of the Assembly's first months. Nevertheless, formidable challenges face both sectoral 'partners' in the new system of governance, not least in creating organisational structures that facilitate partnership working in the devolved polity.

Although the number of looked after children who are adopted has risen in recent years, it still represents a tiny proportion, about five per cent, of all looked after children. Approximately 5,500 children were adopted in the year to March 2001 in the United Kingdom. Almost two-thirds of these were children who had been looked after by a local authority. The others were predominately children adopted by their parent and step-parent, and about 300 were children who have been brought from overseas and adopted by people living in the United Kingdom. Topics are addressed to step families considering adoption, to people considering adopting from overseas, and to meeting children's needs through fostering.
