Attending an Adoption Matters online adoption information event is a convenient way to find out more about adoption, our outstanding Ofsted rated agency and the support that we offer to our children and families. All that you need to attend is internet access and ideally a device with a camera.

The events are hosted by experienced members of our enquiry team alongside a social worker. During the event we will share a presentation with you, chat through the adoption process and the ongoing support that we offer. We will also give you a chance to ask questions.

Our events last around an hour to an hour and a half, depending on how many questions are asked. Joining instructions will be sent to you 2-3 days before the event.

The events are open to anyone who is interested in adoption that lives in our geographical coverage area which is: the whole of the North West, North East, Yorkshire & the Humber, Stoke, Staffordshire, Shropshire and North Wales.

If you live just outside of these areas, we may still be able to assist you, so please do contact our team to discuss.

Start your adoption journey with PACT at an information event

At Parents And Children Together (PACT), we believe that every child deserves the warmth and stability of a loving home. As an independent adoption charity, we've been consistently rated outstanding by Ofsted since 2014, a testament to our commitment to finding permanent families for children waiting in care.

Join us for one of our virtual adoption information events, where you'll discover the joys of parenting through adoption and the comprehensive support we offer to our families for life. Hear firsthand from our adopters about their experiences, engage with our senior social workers, and get all your questions answered.
We're particularly focused on connecting adoptive parents with children who typically wait longer to be adopted, including those aged three years or older, siblings who need to stay together, Black and mixed ethnicity children, and those with additional needs or disabilities. However there are children of all ages waiting for a family so please get in touch if you want to find out more about adopting with PACT.

PACT's mission is to create families, not just find them. We're here to guide you every step of the way, ensuring that you have the resources and support you need to nurture a thriving and loving adoptive family.

Together, let's open our hearts and homes to children in need of a family.

Our online information events are a great way to learn more about adopting, the adoption process and how Adoption Focus can support you.

They're ideal if:

• you're in the early stages of researching adoption
• you want a general overview of how the adoption process works
• you've been looking into adoption for a while and feel ready to start the process with Adoption Focus, an Ofsted 'Outstanding' rated agency
• you're contacting local agencies to decide which one to proceed with
• you want to find out more about the children who are waiting to be adopted
• you have specific questions you'd like to talk through privately with an expert
• you're interested in an early permanence route into adoption

They begin with a live presentation from a member of our team, covering all aspects of adoption and our service. Following you'll be given the opportunity to arrange a private phone call or video chat with one of our experienced adoption social workers in which you can ask any specific questions about your own circumstances and talk about next steps.

Whether you want a general overview of how things work or have specific questions you'd like to talk through, we'll be happy to hear from you.

Please call on 0121 779 0891 or email info@adoption-focus.org.uk to book a place at this event. We’ll send you an information pack and all the details you need.

If you’re not able to make it to one of these events, please get in touch and we’ll arrange an alternative way of giving you the information you need.
