    Situation

    Those who are adopted not knowing where they came from, or wanting to contact their birth relatives but not knowing where to start or how. Birth relatives wondering about the child/ren adopted away from their care, and to deal with the accompanying feelings and possibility of contact. Adoptive families - the need to ensure their family is happy, secure and permanent - giving adopted children a more positive future to look forward to.

    Solution

    After Adoption provides independent adoption support services including a UK wide helpline, counselling, searching and reunion services. We also find adoptive families for children in the care system, and support those families post-adoption to ensure these children have a permanent home and future to look forward to.
