In England 3,000 children are waiting for adoptive parents. Could adoption be right for you and your family?
Early Permanence placements allow babies and young children to find foster carers who are ready to adopt them later, if the courts decide they cannot be cared for permanently by their birth family.
This section takes you through the adoption process stage by stage with practical information, interactive exercises and audio and video guides.
Could you provide a safe and loving home for a child on a temporary, long-term or permanent basis? Find out more about Foster Care, Special Guardianship and Kinship Care.

CCS Adoption, an 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 Teams with their expert adoption team, who will be able to answer any questions you might have and tell you more about the lifelong support and training they 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 their adopters during the Q&A session and learn about their experiences and the support CCS provides after adoption through their Adoption Support.
They work with families living in the West and South West areas of England in Bristol, South Gloucestershire, Gloucestershire, Somerset, Bath and North East Somerset, North Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire.
They will be holding this Information Event via Teams, so if you want to book yourself a place, please use the booking form on their website via the link.

Our in-person 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:
They begin with a live presentation from a member of our team, covering all aspects of adoption and our service. Following this 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 have your questions answered 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.
