/// One focus would be to end the situation where white children are three times as likely to leave care through adoption as those from ethnic minorities. This is because fewer people from such backgrounds come forward to adopt.///
Why are those from black ethnic backgrounds less likely to adopt or foster these children?
/// ‘It is shocking that black children take twice as long as white children to be adopted.///
If these ridiculous barriers are torn down, will white couples choose to adopt or foster black children so as to balance the figures, or will the authorities make it easier for white couples to adopt or foster black children at the expense of white children?

Exactly what is said.
The question is "why are there more adopters from a white background than an ethnic background"?
And since there are more adopters from a white background, plus the fact that people from an ethnic background are less likely to adopt, then it is only feasible that there are more children from an ethnic background waiting to be adopted.
The problem of white people adopting ethnic children is the fact that when the child grows up, there are problems caused by the child wanting to belong with it's own group and become aware of it's roots.
That is not my conclusion, but was outlined on TV by a black woman who was adopted by a white couple.

Because overwhelmly black families do not have the financial resources to take on another mouth to feed.
Working class families and those on lower incomes don't adopt, and black families (big generalisation) fall into this socio-economic grouping. Adoption is generally is generally the province of the middle classes.
Oh, and for every 100 adoptive parents, you should only expect 3 to be black, because that's the ratio of black to white in the UK.
