Adoption

Adoption
Could you make a difference to a child’s life?
Adoption is a life long commitment that gives a child the opportunity to grow up in a family. It is a legal process where the child takes the name of the new family and becomes part of that family.

This is a simple explanation but in reality if you decide to adopt you will offer stability and security to a child and take on the same rights and responsibilities of a birth parent. The child has the same rights as if it was your child by birth, including inheriting your property and takes your name.

There are hundreds of children across the country who are waiting to be adopted at any time. In the 12 months to 31st March 2009, 3300 children were adopted across England and Wales.
