Our Adoption Myth Buster explodes some of the myths surrounding adoption. Think you can’t adopt? You may be pleasantly surprised!
It is not necessary for an adopter to be in employment, or to be a home owner. We will, however, need to make sure that you are financially secure and able to provide stability for a child, so these things will be discussed with you. But please remember, you don’t have to be ‘rich’ to adopt.
Another useful source of information is the interactive quiz from First4Adoption. It answers those ‘Can I adopt if…?’ questions and can help you ascertain if you would be eligible to adopt a child.
If you think you could become a parent to a child who needs a family, please visit our Adoption Connections page to find out more about what we can offer you.
Alternatively, just get in touch with us - no pressure, no obligation. We’ll be glad to answer your questions and talk things through with you.
