Could I adopt for Plymouth? – You’d be surprised…
Research has shown that many people would like to adopt a child but don't bother applying because they assume they may not be eligible. However, most of these people are simply wrong and you’d be amazed at the diversity of people across Devon and Cornwall who can adopt for Plymouth!
There are very few things that would definitely prevent you from adopting a child and Plymouth City Council adoption team has a flexible approach to what makes a good adoptive family. The children waiting for adoption in Plymouth are all different and come from a variety of backgrounds. To meet their wide range of needs, we need adoptive families from all walks of life who represent the wider community, rather than people who fit a specific mould.
This quiz is designed to demonstrate the diversity of people who could be approved to adopt for Plymouth. It will only take you a few minutes and you might be surprised at the result…
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.
