Manual for approved adoptive parents
Congratulations on being approved as an adopter for Plymouth City Council! The pages in this section will provide information on everything you can expect during the rest of the adoption process, from how we will identify a suitable child for you to what will happen when a child finally joins your family.
Your social worker will be there for you every step of the way. They will always be available to deal with any questions or concerns you may have.
