Description
Adopt East is a Regional Adoption Alliance which brings together the professionalism, skills and expertise of eight local authorities (Norfolk County Council, Suffolk County Council, Essex County Council, Southend Council, Thurrock Council, Hertfordshire County Council, Luton Borough Council, Bedford Borough Council), two voluntary adoption agencies (Barnardo’s, Adoptionplus) from across the East of England and the voice of adopters through Adoption UK. By working collaboratively, we are able to share best practice and increase matching opportunities for children and adopters. This means avoiding any unnecessary delay in the making of your new family and ensuring support is central.
