There are hundreds of children looking for adoptive parents. Whether you’re young or older, married or single, male or female, gay or straight, renting or a homeowner – you can give a child or children a loving, supportive home.
Many of the children we match with families for adoption have been abused or neglected. Some are angry or confused about what’s happening to them. We need adoptive parents who are kind, supportive, have resilience and understanding, and have lots of love and attention to give.
Adoption is the process where all the rights and responsibilities of a parent for a child are transferred from the birth family to the adoptive family. This means that once the adoption process has completed, an adopted child is legally a full member of your family.
People who have adopted with us have done so for lots of different reasons. Some have not been able to have children of their own but still feel that they would like to bring up a child, others are LGBT and choose adoption as a way to have children. Some are older, and may have had children already but feel they could give another child a loving home.
Our main priority is to match children to stable, loving families who will meet their individual needs, whatever those needs might be, now and into adulthood. Because of this, we aim to be flexible and not limit potential matches by setting strict criteria at the outset. Our children need families who can help them grow up feeling good about themselves, with a positive sense of their own culture or background. We particularly welcome enquiries from people interested in adopting older children and sibling groups, however.

We specialise in finding adoptive families for children who would typically miss out on the chance to be adopted. Many of the children we match with families for adoption have had a difficult start in life. They may have been neglected, abused, or have an illness or disability. Because of their backgrounds, they’re sometimes angry, scared or confused about what’s happening to them. They might not have learned to trust adults and form emotional relationships. They need a lot of patience and understanding from their adoptive families to adjust to family life and start to thrive.
Adopting can be a long journey, so we support you at every step along the way. We have a small, friendly team who will support you through the adoption process, with planning, training, and a focus on finding the right match between you and the children we work with. We support you for as long as you need – we will still be there for you after you’ve adopted.
