Description
We’re here to help children and young people feel safer, happier, healthier and more hopeful – and have somewhere they feel they belong. Whether you’re single or married, part of the LGBT+ community, looking to start or grow your family, if you have space in your home and heart you could change a childhood, and change a life, through adoption.
At Barnardo’s we are passionate about making a positive difference to the lives of the children and young people we support, as well as our adopters.
We listen and respond to the needs of our adopters, which is why we offer a comprehensive preparation, training and support adoption programme, including access to support groups, adopter forums and adoptive family social events.
It doesn’t matter what your religious or cultural background is, whether you’re single, married, divorced, in a civil partnership, a homeowner or renting, we believe you can adopt.
In particular, we are searching for adoptive parents who can adopt children:
– of all ages, particularly older children and teenagers
– sibling groups
– from Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) communities
– with challenging behaviours
– with physical and/or learning disabilities
What’s most important is that you are caring, patient, understanding, and can offer a child or young person a positive and loving environment to grow up in. You could be the special person a child needs if you:
– are over 21
– are a UK resident
– have enough space in your home to meet the needs of a child
– have the time and commitment to support a child
want to make a difference to a child’s life.
