About Adopt London
Adopt London is made up of four Regional Adoption Agencies, working with local authority partners across London to provide joined-up adoption services so more children can find secure, stable family homes and to support everyone connected to adoption across the capital.
Together, we bring adoption professionals from across London into one connected service: social workers in recruitment, assessment, family finding and adoption support, sharing expertise at every stage. We work closely with local support services, and alongside those with adoption experience, to help shape the services and support families tell us they want and need.
Adoption can be complex and life-changing, not just for adoptive families but for adopted people and birth families too. That is why our support is varied depending on your experience and can include information, guidance, support, advice or signposting. Whoever you are, we are here for you and always aim to offer clear information and practical help.

Conversations with Tom
Tom and his husband Dan adopted their son about 2 years ago. Family life is busy and has its challenges, but it is also everything they hoped it would be. They talked to us about the assessment process, matching with their son, and how they are all looking forward to welcoming another adopted child into their home, and adjusting to life as a family of four.
