Fostering and adoption

We require adopters from various backgrounds and with different life experiences who can provide a family for life for children who are unable to live within their birth families.

Research studies have shown that stable and secure adoptive placements help children reach their potential and recover from experiences of abuse and neglect. As a Council we committed to supporting adopters provide lifelong commitments to a wide range of children as possible who cannot live with their birth parents.
