The Scottish Adoption Association is a voluntary organisation founded in 1923 and based in Edinburgh. Scottish Adoption offers information counselling and support to anyone who has adopted, has been adopted or is interested in adoption.

SCOTTISH ADOPTION SERVICES

ADOPTIVE FAMILIES
A major part of our remit is to recruit, prepare and support adoptive parents and permanent foster parents for children who cannot grow up in their families of origin. We invite applications from couples and individuals who live within sixty miles of Edinburgh. All enquiries are welcome, whether from childless people or experienced parents.

ADOPTIVE ADULTS
Our confidential counselling service provides information, advice and support to adopted adults who live in the Lothian area or who were placed for adoption by Scottish Adoption Association, the Lothian Social Work Departments and their predecessors, the Church of Scotland and the Episcopal Church.

BIRTH RELATIVES
We offer information, counselling and support to anyone considering adoption for their child or expected baby and to birth parents of children whose adoptions have been arranged by Scottish Adoption Association, Edinburgh, East Lothian, Midlothian and West Lothian Councils, the Church of Scotland and the Episcopal Church.
