Why choose us

We believe that children are at the heart of everything we do. Since 1869, we have been making a positive difference to the most vulnerable children and young people.

Although our history is important to us, the support we provide today to the children, young people and their carers is what makes us different. Our determination and passion has enabled us to find homes for thousands of the most difficult to place children.

There are many reasons to choose us, including:

Helping you at every stage of the process

We believe a successful match is fuelled by the support we provide both during and after the adoption process. From the initial stages of making an application right through to the final assessment, Action for Children will support you at every stage of the process.

Finding the right placement

Because of our close links with many local authorities and related organisations, we can use our wealth of contacts to find the right placement for the child and you. With consent and careful consideration, we can refer you to our specialist contacts including the Adoption Register, local authorities, BAAF and Adoption UK.

Support when and where you need it for as long as it takes

Action for Children helps place some of the UK's most vulnerable children with people like you to help them achieve more and become and grow into confident, happy adults. They are often in need of a great deal of love and attention to help them adjust to stable family life. This is why we take training and support very seriously, offering to be 'be there' for our families for as long as they need us.

Our support includes:

  • Visiting you regularly
  • Advocating for you
  • Making sure you receive all the services you should be receiving
  • Giving you advice on financial support
  • Providing you with continual support and further training
  • Making sure you can keep in touch with other adopters
  • Inviting you to social events to adopters
