Our Aim

Supporting potential adopters in being the best adoptive parents

Adopting a child is a hugely rewarding and life-changing decision, one that is transformative for both the child and the adopter. Our number one aim is to ensure that every potential adopter goes away with all the information and training they need to be the best possible adoptive parent for vulnerable children.

Vision

A world where every child who comes into care obtains a loving, caring and culturally competent placement which, through mutual respect, affirms their identity.

Mission

To increase the number of high-quality parents from across the diverse tapestry of the UK population, and to increase the leavel of cultural competency that prevails in parents and professionals.

Values

People first. Celebrating diversity. Freeing potential. Close communities. Living and working with integrity.

Why focus on adoption

Sadly, a large number of adopted children have suffered immensely. Their early lives are riddled with neglect, violence and poverty and their earliest memories are of being shuffled between different foster homes; each carrying their own varying degree of problems.

At My Adoption Family, we care about the lives of children and want to give them the best opportunity in life to be paired with families who can give them the love and care they deserve. We support potential adoptive parents in their adoption journey.
