In England more than 2,500 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.
