Anyone that is interested in finding out more about adopting a child is invited to attend an information event this month.
Adoption at Heart, the regional adoption agency for the Black Country and surrounding areas, is appealing for more people to come forward to adopt a child into a safe, loving, and permanent home.
There are around 100 children at any one time across the Black Country that need an adoptive family as they are unable to live with their birth families. The children that are waiting for new families range from babies and toddlers up to older children.
Adopters are needed from all walks of life and families are particularly sought for individual children, groups of brothers and sisters, black and mixed heritage children, and children with additional needs.
Adoption@Heart’s information events are the best place to find out more about the adoption process and the support offered. The next event is being held on:
Saturday 20 May at 10am
Bert Williams Leisure Centre, Nettlefolds Way, Bilston, WV14 0EF.
Pre-booking is essential via the Adoption@Heart website.
“ We are looking for parents who can give children a secure home, giving them lots of individual time, understanding and on-going support to help them reach their full potential. We are looking for a diverse range of people from within the community, irrespective of gender, sexual orientation or disability. We particularly need people to come forward that can adopt black or mixed heritage children.
People who could make really good adoptive parents are often put off because they wrongly think they are not eligible to adopt and that it is a difficult process. We really want to encourage people to come forward and talk to us to find out more.
The need to recruit adopters does not stop and in fact we need more adopters now than ever before, so, we are asking anyone who has thought about adoption to get in touch or register for one of our information events to find out more and have a chat, as we are always here to support you every step of the way.
“
