We cover London, Berkshire, Cambridge, East Sussex, Essex, Hampshire, Hertfordshire, Kent, Norfolk, Surrey, West Sussex and would love to talk to you about adoption.
Here, adopting is a team effort, and you can count on our dedicated community of adoptive parents and staff to be by your side every step of the way. We run regular events both for people interested in adoption, and for people who’ve already adopted, because the support we offer will continue long after you welcome a child into your home.
You can find out more about our upcoming events on Eventbrite. You can also stay in touch with us on Facebook, or contact us using the details below.
We’d love to talk to you about how you could change a childhood, and a life.

Who can adopt?
We welcome people from all walks of life and backgrounds. There are so many things about you that will help make you a great adoptive parent, but there are some practical things you need too.
Adoption process
Welcoming a child or young person into your life is an incredible thing to do - and a big decision to make. We'll make sure you have the information you need to work out if it's right for you and where you are in your life and what you can expect from the application process.
How we’ll support you
We listen and respond to the needs of our adopters, which is why we offer a comprehensive preparation, training and support adoption programme, including access to support groups, adopter forums and adoptive family social events.
