CCS Adoption, your local independent, voluntary adoption agency in Bristol, is running an online adoption Information Event for people thinking of adopting. Book yourself a place, and you can explore adoption, the children who need adoptive families and CCS Adoption – the region’s only Ofsted “Outstanding” adoption agency.

There will be a short presentation via Zoom with our expert adoption team, who will be able to answer any questions you might have and tell you more about the lifelong support and training we provide. You’ll find out what the next steps are if you decide to adopt a child or siblings.

You’ll also have the opportunity to hear from our adopters during the Q&A session and learn about their experiences and the support we provide after adoption through our Adoption Support.

We will be holding this Information Event via Zoom, so if you want to book yourself a place, please use the booking form on our website by following the link, and we'll send you the invite. We work with families living in the West and South West areas of England in Bristol, South Gloucestershire, Gloucestershire, Somerset, Bath and North East Somerset, North Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire.

Our online information events are a friendly and informative way to explore adoption, understand the adoption process, and learn how Adoption Focus can support you every step of the way.

These events are ideal if:

Start your adoption journey with PACT at an information event

At Parents And Children Together (PACT), we believe that every child deserves the warmth and stability of a loving home. As an independent adoption charity, we've been consistently rated outstanding by Ofsted since 2014, a testament to our commitment to finding permanent families for children waiting in care.

Join us for one of our virtual adoption information events, where you'll discover the joys of parenting through adoption and the comprehensive support we offer to our families for life. Hear firsthand from our adopters about their experiences, engage with our senior social workers, and get all your questions answered.

We're particularly focused on connecting adoptive parents with children who typically wait longer to be adopted, including those aged three years or older, siblings who need to stay together, Black and mixed ethnicity children, and those with additional needs or disabilities. However there are children of all ages waiting for a family so please get in touch if you want to find out more about adopting with PACT.
PACT's mission is to create families, not just find them. We're here to guide you every step of the way, ensuring that you have the resources and support you need to nurture a thriving and loving adoptive family.
