Adopting a Family Group

Throughout June we are continuing to look at our need to find adopters who can consider adopting siblings or family groups. 49% of our children needing forever families are in family groups of 2 children or more, we always try our best to keep siblings together. They have often been through extremely difficult circumstances together and have been the only constant throughout theirs lives. This means that together they often are their own support network, relying on a shared unique and powerful bond. In this latest episode we are revisiting our conversation with Shauneen, who along with her husband Oliver adopted siblings. Adoption can have challenges, so we will be hearing about those but we also talk about the highs too! If you are thinking about adoption why not book onto one of our Virtual Information Events to find out more?
