Interested in adopting or fostering and want to find out more?

Join us in Glasgow on Saturday, 19th July for an in-person Adoption and Fostering Information Session, running from 10:00am to 11:30am.

This session is a great opportunity to hear from our expert Senior Practitioners, as well as from our wonderful Adopters and Foster Carers, who will share their personal journeys to parenthood. You’ll also have the chance to ask any questions you may have.

You can sign up for your free place via eventbrite here.

A highlight of previous events has always been hearing directly from our parents and carers. Here’s what some of our past attendees had to say:

“We found the info meeting really useful and informative and a great way to make the idea of adoption more of a reality in terms of it being an option for us. We have talked about looking into it for a while now and it was a really good way to get lots of information and meet the team of people from the agency. Hearing the adoptive dads talk about their experiences was definitely the highlight.”

“It was a very informative night and put a lot of thoughts in my head regarding my future, and how to go about setting these into motion. I’m very glad I came along and felt the staff explained everything and the personal stories from the adopters were the highlight. As a result of the event my partner and myself will be filling out an initial request form with Scottish Adoption to move things forward from this point.”

“Edinburgh event last night was so helpful. Great to see so many other people looking to adopt! Hearing the experiences of the gay dads was good, generally I’m really glad we went!”

“We thought the evening was excellent. Very informative and also relaxed so no pressure on anyone to make decisions or to do anything. We both felt very relaxed, and felt we received a really good overview of what the process involves. We especially enjoyed hearing the adopters speak about their own experiences and how they felt throughout the process. To see their obvious joy and happiness was definitely an inspiration to us both. We’ve already completed our initial enquiry form and have had a response from your office.”
