We are encouraging people from the Black community, who are or have been thinking about adoption, to come forward and talk to us.

Are you considering adopting an older child? Our Head of Service adopted her son when he was four years old and she's shared her story with us.

People in the North-West have been asked to ‘guess the ages’ of children in a bid to challenge perceptions and misconceptions of those waiting for adoption.

A new, national campaign launched by You Can Adopt aims to reassure those considering adoption and encourage them to adopt children who typically wait longest for adoption, including children aged five or over, children with additional and/or complex needs, brother and sister groups, and those from a Black and mixed heritage background.

We are extremely passionate about putting our children first and at the heart of all we do and we are able to provide hugely effective support to our families to enable them to achieve their dream of becoming parents. Want to join our team?

When thinking about adopting, taking that first step, and picking up the phone can be hard but here at Adoption Now we understand!

It’s LGBTQ+ Adoption & Fostering Week (6th March) and Adoption Now is backing calls for potential applicants to think about the number of vulnerable children they could parent.

'...they are there to help people on their first steps through the adoption process' Have you been to one of our Virtual Information Events? In the first episode of 2023 we find more about our online events!

Adoption and the adoption process has evolved a lot in recent years, meaning that more people than ever can adopt! However, there are still a lot of misconceptions and misunderstandings that still exist at the forefront of people’s thoughts when they think about adoption so, in this blog we have busted some of the most popular myths that still exist around adoption and the adoption process!  

With the Christmas holidays fast approaching we just wanted to take the time to let you know our office hours over the festive period!

In the run up to Christmas we are counting down the days with our 12 Reasons to Adopt and releasing Festive Episodes of our podcast Adopter Stories by Adoption Now!

This November we are celebrating the RAA turning 5 years old!

A national week of action is recognising the significance of identity for children who are adopted and asks ‘could you be a part of their life story?’ Local adoption agency Adoption Now, is supporting National Adoption Week which aims to raise awareness of the need to be connected to our pasts, to improve our sense of identity and emotional wellbeing, something that is crucial for those who have been adopted as they mature into adulthood.

Being a parent to a child is one of the most amazing and rewarding experiences in life and, having enjoyed parenthood once, many people look to do it all over again and grow their family by adopting; be that by adopting whilst already having a birth child or children, or by adopting for a second time.  

Family is family, and here at Adoption Now we welcome your enquiry no matter what your sexuality / family situation. A common myth that still exists is that you cannot adopt if you are LGBT+ and single or in a relationship. But that is just not true. Same sex families have had the right to adopt since December 2005, when The Adoption and Children Act 2002 came into law. This legislation gave unmarried couples and same sex couples the right to adopt.
