Welcome to Adopt London
Adopt London is currently following Government advice to support the containment of the Coronavirus (COVID-19). We are open and welcome you to get in touch in the usual way, although our responses may be subject to a slight delay.
The Government have announced emergency funding for families during the COVID-19 pandemic to include therapeutic services, online training and support helplines. For more information, about how to self refer to these support services please see our COVID-19 page.
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 officially launched Adopt London in February 2020 – Watch our video here.
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.
