In England 3,000 children are waiting for adoptive parents. Could adoption be right for you and your family?
Early Permanence placements allow babies and young children to find foster carers who are ready to adopt them later, if the courts decide they cannot be cared for permanently by their birth family.
This section takes you through the adoption process stage by stage with practical information, interactive exercises and audio and video guides.
Could you provide a safe and loving home for a child on a temporary, long-term or permanent basis? Find out more about Foster Care, Special Guardianship and Kinship Care.

Our in-person information events are a great way to learn more about adopting, the adoption process and how Adoption Focus can support you.
They're ideal if:
They begin with a live presentation from a member of our team, covering all aspects of adoption and our service. Following this you'll be given the opportunity to arrange a private phone call or video chat with one of our experienced adoption social workers in which you can have your questions answered and talk about next steps.
Whether you want a general overview of how things work or have specific questions you'd like to talk through, we'll be happy to hear from you.
Please call on 0121 779 0891 or email info@adoption-focus.org.uk to book a place at this event. We’ll send you an information pack and all the details you need.
If you’re not able to make it to one of these events, please get in touch and we’ll arrange an alternative way of giving you the information you need.
