Welcome to Adopt London
We are 4 regional adoption agencies covering 23 London local authorities. Adopt London has a wealth of expertise in bringing together children with safe, secure, loving and permanent adoptive families.
We work with residents across Greater London and the Home Counties. Adopt London is truly at the heart of London’s adoption community and by working together we have become stronger and aim to provide the best possible outcomes for our London children.
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.

Jennifer’s story
It’s easy to get caught up in specifics on ethnicity but my advice to adoptive parents is that it’s best to be open minded so that you can be placed with the child that’s right for you and your family.
