Adoption processes on the Island are being reviewed in a bid to see if change is needed.
The Department of Health and Social care is asking for the community's feedback - the area hasn't been reviewed for some time.
The Isle of Man has a different process to that in the UK but it is still lengthy - which can cause problems for the families involved.
Local consultant Jane O'Rourke will carry out the review - she wants to hear from anyone who's had experience of adoption:
A public meeting on the issue will take place at the Manx Museum on May 4th.
