Adopters for Adoption is a national adoption agency set up in 2014 to improve the way adopters are recruited, prepared, assessed and supported and to reduce delay for children waiting for an adoptive family.
As the name suggests, our values and services are driven by people who have experience of the process and who are successful adopters.
We made a deliberate decision to call the agency ‘Adopters for Adoption’ as we wanted to make sure adopters were at the centre of our thinking, and to widen the number of potential adopters from the general population. We continue to challenge the myths that surround adoption and remain open to enquiries from all sectors of the population.
Our development steering group was made up of adopters whose children range in age from 2 to 32 years old, are brothers and sisters, single children and some have disabilities. This first-hand knowledge of adoption ensured that the voice of the adopter was influential in the planning and development of our practice.
As part of the Polaris Community, we combine over 20 years of experience in achieving exceptional outcomes for children and families with a desire to transform the way adopters are recruited, by ensuring that people are always more important than the process.
