Adoption is the opportunity to give a child, who can no longer be cared for by their birth family, a loving family to belong to for the rest of their lives, who will commit to them, nurture them and advocate for them, and give them a safe and settled home for good.

It’s important to acknowledge that the loss and trauma that is part of every child young person with care experience’s story will often, understandably, have an impact on their lives. Some may struggle with trust, confidence or building healthy relationships. Some may have health issues or additional needs. Some may find it challenging to understand and navigate big emotions.

Every child is unique. Every story is unique. How their story impacts their life will look different for each individual. But we know that each and every child and young person has inherent value and worth; they are brimming with potential. When adoption is deemed the best decision for a child, the stable home, unwavering support and loving relationships can allow children to thrive.
