Who Can I Adopt?

There are far more people wanting to adopt babies than there are babies needing new homes.  Typically children who need adoptive parents are aged between two and ten, all hoping for the love and security of a permanent family, which is something you may be able to give them.
 
However, not every child who needs adopting is alone, some have brothers and sisters.  Every placement decision is made in the best interests of the child, therefore we desperately try to avoid splitting up such family groups.
 
So it's worth thinking about, even at this early stage, whether you see yourself with more than one child in the future.  If so adopting siblings might be an appealing option for you.
 
Children with challenging physical, or learning disabilities also need adopting.  If you feel this is something you may be able to do then please call us to find out more on 0114 273 5075.
