Adoption
We asked one adopter about their experience of
adoption - “Adopting our 2 children has given us all
the joy we wished for. We don’t see their special needs
we just seem them as beautiful happy children who
are very special. From the first day we saw them we
knew that we wanted to be part of their lives forever.’
Some children may miss out on adoption - older
children, children with disabilities and brothers and
sisters, we are looking for adoptive families who can
be flexible about their wishes for adoption.
Some fostering facts:
• There is no upper age limit to adopt -
you must be
over 21 and have the potential to care and support
the child through to adulthood.
• Single? Not a problem,
children need stable loving
homes by single parents and couples, whatever their
gender or sexual orientation.
• Disabilities or not, you can still adopt -
health
problems and disabilities will not stop you from
adopting, provided you can care for the child you
adopt.
• You can adopt if you already have your own
children -
and you can adopt more than one child at
once - some children will have siblings also waiting
to be adopted.
• British resident?
You need to be a British citizen and
have no plans to move in the near future.
• No ethnic matching -
there are children from many
different backgrounds waiting to be adopted. As
long as you meet the child’s needs you can adopt
children of any ethnicity.
• Renting, or worried about your financial situation
-
you don’t have to own your own home or have a
job.
• It’s quicker than you think…
In fact, you can now
become approved as an adopter within six months.

“It took a long time for us to
get adopted because most
people want to adopt babies
and toddlers, not older children.
It was also hard because most
people want to adopt just one
child not two”.
Could you transform a child’s life?
