Who can adopt?

In our experience, successful adoptive parents come from all walks of life with different backgrounds, cultures and living situations.


   - Adopters can be:
                              *single
                              *married
                              *in civil partnerships
                              *living with a partner

  - Some adoptive parents already have
    children while others don't

If you are:
                           *over 21
                           *think you have the
                             time and energy
                           *have the commitment 
                             to be an adoptive
                             parent
                           *live within a 60 mile
                             radius of our office

What all our adopters have in common is a commitment to offer a child the opportunity to grow up as part of a loving, stable and secure family.  Adoptive parents need energy, patience and determination to help children recover from difficult early life experiences,

Being an adoptive parent is challenging at times, but the reward of seeing the positive difference you can make to a child's life is huge.
