On Wednesday 15 January 2025, local adoption charity and voluntary adoption agency, Adoption Matters, will be supporting Big Adoption Day. An event when all voluntary adoption agencies across the UK will be collaborating together to highlight the benefits of adoption with a voluntary adoption agency.
Across the UK, events (in-person and online) will be held with an opportunity for potential adopters to find out more about the positives of starting or growing their families through adoption.
The day will also mark a moment to celebrate the benefits of working with a voluntary agency. Voluntary adoption agencies are independent, not for profit organisations, offering a boutique, personalised service to adopters from all backgrounds.
Adoption Matters has been operating for over 76 years and has extensive experience having placed thousands of children with their adoptive families, particularly children aged 4 and above, brother and sister groups, children from diverse ethnic background and children with disabilities.
Adoption Matters also provide their families with lifelong support, which is flexible and responsive to what families need, whenever they need it.
In support of the day, Adoption Matters will be hosting a Big Adoption Day online information event, providing the opportunity for people to learn more about the charity and the support they offer.
Adoption Matters CEO Susy White comments:
“We are proud to support another Big Adoption Day this year which will help raise awareness of adoption and the need for more people to consider starting or growing their family through adoption. This comes at a time when it’s needed the most – with over 2.710 children in England waiting right now for their own forever family”.
