Welcome to Adopt London
Adopt London is currently following Government advice to support the containment of the Coronavirus (Covid-19). We are still open for business and welcome you to get in touch in the usual way.
We have reluctantly cancelled forthcoming information sessions and are currently looking into innovative ways of how we can deliver these sessions online. We will reply to all enquiries about adoption though some aspects of our service may be subject to a slight delay.
Your interest in adoption is really important to us and very much appreciated, the situation is changing daily and we will endeavour to keep you informed.
We have also sadly had to cancel some group training, support and activity sessions for our current adopters. We may need to adjust or cancel other sessions at short notice. We hope to be able to provide more advice and support on-line.
Should you have any queries, please contact your local Regional Adoption Agency.
Adopt London brings together four regional adoption agencies providing adoption services for 23 London local authorities. We work together across London to provide the best possible adoption recruitment, support and services for you and your family.
The adoption community for London
We believe that all children deserve to grow up in a loving, stable family and we’re dedicating all our time and energy to finding those families. We’ll provide them with the training and support they need to help children thrive.
By bringing together adoption professionals from local authorities across London, we can provide high levels of expertise and support to our adoptive families at all stages of the adoption process. We have good contacts with local schools and health services. We also work closely with our adoptive parents and with their inspiration and direction, we ensure that we provide the kind of support that families want and need.
Adoption is an exciting, challenging and life changing experience for everyone involved. We need adoptive parents from all walks of life to reflect the range of children we have who are looking for a secure home with patience, understanding and loving kindness.
