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.

Attending one of our online adoption information events is a convenient way to find out more about adoption and our children’s charity.
Join online from the comfort of your home, ideally a camera-enabled device, and allow our team, which will be led by our experienced enquiry team members and a social worker, to share a presentation, walk you through the adoption process, and explain the ongoing support we offer.
Please be assured that there will be no pressure to proceed to the next step following the event – Adoption Matters will walk alongside you at your pace, with honest guidance and helpful information.
Events typically last 60–90 minutes, depending on participation, and they are open to anybody who is interested in adoption that lives in our geographical coverage area, which includes:
- The North West
- The North East
- Yorkshire & the Humber
- Stoke
- Staffordshire
- Shropshire
If you live just outside of these areas, we may still be able to assist you, so please do contact our team to discuss.
If you’re considering adoption as a solo adopter, you may invite one person to join you at all Adoption Matters events, including future training sessions if you go on to adopt with us. This can be a family member or a friend. Please include their details on your registration form.
