Adoption Matters

“The adoption process starts with your first email or call to us, right through to a child's first years with you and beyond. Below is an overview of the stages of the adoption process to give you an idea of what to expect.”

FAQs

We have been in a relationship for 6 months, can we adopt?

While there is no regulatory requirement for a couple to be in a relationship for a specified period of time before they can adopt, the adoption process can be stressful and we would need some evidence that a relationship is likely to be able to withstand the adoption process before we start any assessment and applicants also need to be able to provide references who can comment on the strength of their partnership. Therefore, usually we would expect that a couple have lived together for about two years before we progress any enquiry. If you have any questions about this or your relationship is less than two years please speak to us for advice.

Who are the children waiting for adoption?

Children in care come from all walks of life, backgrounds and cultures. They have different needs and experiences like all children. One thing we know about children who enter care is that, they will be feeling a whole range of emotions and will often be frightened. All children will have experienced separation, loss and uncertainty. There are groups of children who wait longer than any other children for an adoptive home. Children from Black, Mixed and Other ethnic groups are over-represented in the numbers of children in care system so children from these ethnic groups often wait longer, in addition to: brother and sister groups children aged 4 years and over children with additional needs

What age of child can I adopt?

Your social worker will discuss what age range you are thinking of during your initial enquiry. We will also explore and explain lots of options open to you including early permanence options such as fostering for adoption or concurrent planning. There are groups of children who wait longer than any other children for an adoptive home. Children from Black, mixed and other ethnic groups are over-represented in the numbers of children in care system so children from these ethnic groups often wait longer, in addition to: brother and sister groups children aged 4 years and over children with additional needs

Can I adopt if I have birth children?

Yes! We welcome and encourage enquiries from people who have birth children. You can adopt whether you have children still living at home or if they have grown up and live elsewhere. You will have to consider the ages of your own children when considering what age of child or children you are considering for adoption. Again, the needs of our adoptive children must be paramount and you must also consider that sometimes a child awaiting adoption needs and emotional age can be very different to their chronological age.

Am I too old to adopt?

No! Legally, adopters need to be over 21 but there is no upper age limit. We are all living longer these days and life expectancy has risen so much in the last two decades that we now actively encourage adopters in their fifties and above to think about adoption. We will expect you to have the health and vitality to see your children through to an age of independence, so consideration will be given to your age comparative to the age of the child you want to adopt; younger children are more likely to be placed with younger parents.

We do have more answers on the FAQ page on our website.
