Fostering and adoption

Welcome to the Adoption and Fostering Service in Suffolk.

Here you will find lots of information about how we help children find settled homes or families. There is also more information available at Suffolk Adoption Agency.

Suffolk children need people "just like you".

	LINK Caring or Befriending is an opportunity to support or care for a disabled child regularly, which in turn makes a huge difference to the life of the child and to their family.
	Private Fostering - this area of the site explains what private fostering is, and what you need to do if this is something that you are involved with.
