We provide a high level of support to adopters and their families throughout the adopted child’s life, recognising that needs evolve over time. Many adoptive families will seek advice or additional support at different points in their journey, whether navigating early attachment, transitions at school, or teenage years.
Support available
We provide a full range of services, from pre-approval training to adoption support. This support may include:
How our support is delivered
These services are delivered through a mixture of face to face sessions, virtual online sessions and via our learning platforms, providing flexibility to suit your family’s circumstances.
We also hold regular Family Fun Days, creating opportunities for adoptive families to connect with others who share similar experiences in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
For families currently adopting with us, we share regular updates on adoption support, activities, events and news from our team and trusted partners. If you’re not receiving these emails, please get in touch so we can ensure you’re added to our mailing list.
Supporting contact agreements
Some children placed for adoption will have contact agreements in place with members of their birth family. These arrangements are carefully considered to support the child’s identity and wellbeing.
We provide advice and ongoing support to help you understand and manage these agreements with confidence.
Support for additional needs
If your adoptive child has additional needs, we’ll help you access the right support and services.
The support has been incredible. Whenever we’ve faced a new stage or challenge, someone from the team has been there to guide us through it. The steady support has made such a difference to our family.”
