We've recently looked at the controversial issue of inter-country adoption. The issue was placed firmly back in the headlines after the furore of the Kilshaw case, when the couple from Cheshire tried to adopt twins over the internet.

Official figures are sketchy, but it's estimated that around 400 inter-country adoptions are approved each year in Britain.
The 麻豆官网首页入口's religious affairs correspondent, Emily Buchanan, and her husband have recently decided to try and adopt a little girl from China.
Today, we hear how successful Emily and her husband are in being "matched" with a baby.
