After Adoption

After Adoption is an adoption agency and registered charity working throughout England and Wales. From placing children with adoptive parents to supporting birth families and reuniting families separated through adoption, we can work with all groups of people affected by adoption. We specialise in finding families for children who wait the longest in care: older children, those with disabilities, those from ethnic minority communities and children who need to be placed with their brothers and sisters. Adoption has a huge impact on individuals, their families and the society we live in. Done well, it can transform the lives of children in the care system and give them the opportunity to reach their full potential as adults.Over the past twenty five years, we have pioneered work with birth mothers in prison, search and reunion services and work with adopted young people. It is these services which make our charity unique. We exist to ensure that that the one in four people affected by adoption receive the care and support they need, when they need it.
