Thank you for considering adoption. On average, Black children wait longer for an adoptive family than any other ethnic group. Could you be the family they need?

Adoption can be life-changing for children. By welcoming a child into your family through adoption, you are offering the security and stability they need to thrive.

21% of children who wait the longest to be adopted are from Black and ethnic minority groups.

We know that many people are interested in adoption but can feel nervous about the process of getting there. Our friendly team are on-hand to help and explain at every step, and all of our partner agencies welcome prospective adopters from all cultures and faiths.

We at the Black Adopters project want to support you as you explore adoption and navigate the assessment process.

Choosing an agency

An important first step in the process is to choose which adoption agency you wish to apply to. You’ll find a number of different adoption agency profiles on this website. Each agency is a little different, covering different geographical areas and offering varying packages of support, so have a good read about the agencies in your area and read our top tips to help you consider who to approach.

Initially, you can choose up to three to find out more about, but our team can always help you to explore other agencies at a later date if you would like to.

It’s something most people can do: it’s about having room in your heart.
