Adopting is a unique way to make a difference to a child or young person’s life.

There is a wide range of children waiting for adoptive families:

• there are a small number of babies and toddlers,
• many are of primary school age between five and ten years old,
• there are more boys than girls.

There are also:

• brothers and sisters who want to live together,
• black children or those of dual heritage who are looking for parents to reflect their own cultural background.

You will be giving a child or a young person:

• the opportunity to belong and be part of a stable family life,
• the ability to develop confidence in themselves,
• the best possible start in life.

It will be a challenging, rewarding and worthwhile experience.
