Information events
Join us for an online information event to find out more about adoption. This is an opportunity to meet experienced social workers from our service, learn about the assessment process and the children waiting for adoption. You will also hear from experienced adopters about their adoption journey and have plenty of opportunities to ask questions. There are no obligations, so come along and see if adoption is right for your family.
