Adoptive parents urgently needed in Devon and Cornwall
Adoption is one of the biggest leaps you will ever make, but also one of the most rewarding. We need families for children of all ages, including babies and toddlers, school-age children, children with special needs, individual children and groups of brothers and sisters who need to grow up together.
- Find out what adoption is
- Learn about children currently awaiting needing adoption in Plymouth.
- Take our 'Could I Adopt for Plymouth?' quiz and be amazed at the variety of people who can adopt. We accept applications from people from all walks of life.
- Understand the child adoption process and discover the support that may be available to you.
We welcome enquiries from people in many areas of Cornwall and Devon in the Westcountry (south west England) including Exeter, Truro, Torbay, Torquay, Paignton and Bodmin. We set priorities based on the needs of the children currently awaiting adoption in Plymouth. These are often based on where you live, so check out our boundaries to find out whether you could Adopt for Plymouth.
If you would like to find out more about adopting a child, please contact the team by completing the online adoption enquiry form. This will be sent to the team, who will contact you as soon as possible.
