COVID – 19 statement
In order to continue to protect our staff, the public and to reduce the spread of the virus we are not holding events or undertaking visits. However, we are still very keen to speak with you and are able to answer questions by phone or email. Please complete the online enquiry form and we will get back to you. We can also offer lots of information that we normally give at our fostering information events.
We understand that the decision to adopt is a huge step and so we’ll provide you with support every step of the way. On average it takes six months to become an approved adoptive parent – but we believe you can do it, and so should you.
Getting in touch to say you are considering adoption can be a big step to take, but there’s nothing to worry about.
Making an enquiry is an opportunity for you to find out more about adoption and the application process, to help you decide if adoption is something that you want to pursue. There is no obligation or commitment if you make an enquiry, and one of our friendly, expert staff will contact you for an initial chat.
If you’re interested in adopting with us, the first thing to do is fill in our online enquiry form. You can also find your nearest adoption service on our ‘Adoption Services near me page.
Alternatively, you can call us on 0800 0277 280 or 0771 2402 312 from Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm.
At this stage you are not making any commitments. A member of our team will call you back to talk you through the adoption process, answer any questions you may have and ask you a few questions about yourself and your motivation to adopt.
If you decide to continue with the process, you will need to complete a Registration of Interest form and a consent form that allows us to obtain a number of checks and references throughout stage one of your assessment
