Same-sex couple, John, 56, and Anthony, 38, want to become parents, and have decided that adoption is the way for them. Like the majority of adopters, they would like to adopt a baby, but have enrolled on a project designed to get them to consider adopting other kinds of children.
When project leader David Akinsanya realises that they might consider children with disabilities, he challenges them to care for a child for a weekend - a child with similar needs to the many kids in care who struggle to find homes. John and Anthony say they are open to most of the challenges of adopting, but how will any child fit into their busy lives when they both work full-time and have 10 horses to look after?
