What is Adoption?

Adoption means providing a permanent, stable home to a child or young person - and by so doing, giving them the chance to fulfill their potential.

Adopters can provide a secure family home for children unable to remain with their birth parents.

Adoption offers children the opportunity to grow up in a safe and nurturing environment.

Adoption is the legal process by which parental responsibility for a child or young person is given to a new parent or parents.

And finally adoption is a permanent, life-long commitment to a child or young person.

Suffolk Children need Suffolk Adopters
