CCS Adoption, your local independent, voluntary adoption agency in Bristol, is running an online LGBTQ+ Adoption Information Event to give you the opportunity to find out more about adoption, the children who need adoptive families and CCS Adoption , the region's only Ofsted 'Outstanding' adoption agency. All are welcome!

There will be a short presentation via Zoom with a Q&A session with our LGBTQ+ adopters. You'll get to hear about their experiences and find out more about the application process and the support we offer after adoption through our Adoption Support.

Come and meet 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.

We will be holding this Information Event via Zoom, so if you want to book yourself a place in order to receive an invitation to the meeting in advance please contact us. CCS can only work with people living within about an hour and a half travelling distance from our office and in Somerset.

Our online 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:

• you're in the early stages of researching adoption
• you want a general overview of how the adoption process works
• you've been looking into adoption for a while and feel ready to start the process with Adoption Focus, an Ofsted 'Outstanding' rated agency
• you're contacting local agencies to decide which one to proceed with
• you want to find out more about the children who are waiting to be adopted
• you have specific questions you'd like to talk through privately with an expert
• you're interested in an early permanence route into adoption

They begin with a live presentation from a member of our team, covering all aspects of adoption and our service. Following 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 ask any specific questions about your own circumstances 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.
