I'd like to adopt

With around 2,000 children waiting to be adopted in the UK at any given time, SFCS is always keen to hear from anyone who is thinking about adopting a child. Adoption Connections is our specialist adoption service, rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted.

Adoption Connections is here to help any adult who is considering adopting a child; we welcome all kinds of families for all kinds of children, regardless of age, race, cultural background, religion, marital status or sexual orientation.

If you decide to adopt through us, you can expect:

  • Full access to information and advice to help you decide if adoption is right for you – open evenings, lunchtime drop-in sessions, information packs and other resources, one-to-one advice from our duty social workers
  • Opportunities to meet and talk to other adopters who have been through the process
  • A close working relationship with one of our friendly and experienced specialist social workers, as they guide you through the assessment process
  • Exceptional training and parenting preparation
  • A thorough and wide-ranging approach to helping you find the child or children who you could best parent
  • On-going support for you and your family – before, during and after the adoption takes place

Join us at our next information event on Friday 18th August - we’d love to see you!

SFCS is based in Milton Keynes, and we operate within a 50-mile radius of our offices. This covers Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire, Hertfordshire and parts of Cambridgeshire and East Anglia.

If you think you could become a parent to a child who needs a family, please contact us or complete our Adoption Enquiry Form – no pressure, no obligation. We’ll be glad to answer your questions and talk things through with you.

If you live outside of our catchment area, the Agency Finder on the First4Adoption website may help you find an alternative agency.
