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.

Come and meet some of the Adopt London South team so that we can start a conversation about your adoption journey. This event is the first step in your learning about the adoption process and an opportunity to find out more about the children in London needing families. We will deliver a presentation about the adoption assessment, you will hear about the impact of adoption on children, what is expected from you, and about the types of support that we can provide to help.
We are currently offering assessments to potential adopters who want to adopt babies and young children via the Early Permanence, sibling groups, older white children aged 2-6 years old that will need additional support throughout their childhood arising from their traumatic early life experiences, and black Caribbean, black African, or mixed ethnicity children of all ages.
