Support from family and friends is essential. Adoption is not something you should do in isolation as you will need to draw on practical and emotional support in planned and in emergency situations. Your social worker will look carefully with you at your existing support network and that which you may develop in the future.
Adopting through Adoption Matters means you will have the added security of access to the Centre for Adoption Support, which offers a wide variety of workshops, webinars, events and specialist therapeutic support for both families and children.
