Coram Ambitious for Adoption is hosting a free information session about adopting in the London area.

If you live within the M25 area, come along to our free in-person Adoption Information Evening at Coram Campus in London. This will give you the opportunity to find out more about adoption and ask any questions you might have.

Our social workers will talk you through the types of children in need of permanent and loving families, the assessment process and the preparation process for new adopters, how children join their new families, and the kinds of post-adoption support that Coram has to offer.

There will then be time to ask any questions you may have. It’s the ideal opportunity to find out more, whether you’re only just beginning to consider adoption or if you’re further down the line in the process.

To attend this free session, please book a place using the contact details here.

Having a faith or a belief will not stop you from adopting.

Hear from one of our adoptive parents who has a faith, and find out about their experience of the adoption process.

Our welcoming and inclusive one-hour Online Adoption Information Events are open to anyone, regardless of your ability, cultural background, ethnicity, faith, gender, gender expression, identity, national origin, race or sexual orientation.

It’s a great opportunity to find out about the process, our children, and hear from an adopter about their experiences. We will be answering questions about adopting as a family with faith or a belief. We will have lots of resources and book ideas on adoption to share with you.

We respect everyone’s privacy; you will not be asked to share your screen when you join the webinar. You are welcome to offer any questions you like in our chat box, which we will aim to answer in the second half of the online event.

To book on to this webinar you can call us on 0300 3000 011 or visit adoptsouth.org.uk and go to our events page. Please book by 12 noon on the day of the event.

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.

CCS Adoption, your local independent, voluntary adoption agency in Bristol, is running an online adoption Information Event for people thinking of adopting. Book yourself a place and you can explore adoption, the children who need adoptive families and CCS Adoption – the region’s only Ofsted “Outstanding” adoption agency.

There will be a short presentation via Zoom with our expert adoption team, who will be able to answer any questions you might have and tell you more about the lifelong support and training we provide. You’ll find out what the next steps are if you decide to adopt a child or siblings.

You’ll also have the opportunity to hear from our adopters during the Q&A session and learn about their experiences and the support we provide after adoption through our Adoption Support.

We will be holding this Information Event via Zoom, so if you want to book yourself a place, please contact us. CCS can only work with people living within about an hour and a half travelling distance from our office and in Somerset.
