Who can adopt

All children are different, and so are the people who adopt them. We’re looking for people from a wide range of backgrounds who can offer children stability, care and commitment.

Could you adopt?

If you’re aged 21 or over, you could adopt. There is no upper age limit.

We welcome applications from individuals and couples, whatever your relationship status, sexuality, beliefs or ethnicity, and whether or not you already have children.

We’re looking for people who are

  • Ready to make space for a child in their home and their life

  • Flexible, open-minded and able to adapt

  • Emotionally available, resilient and reflective

  • Committed to making a lifelong difference

  • Open to learning, training and ongoing professional support

  • Able to support children who may have experienced trauma or loss

What matters most is what you can bring to a child’s life. We’ll support you to develop the confidence, skills and resilience needed to become an adoptive parent.
