Adoption Support for families

Everyone involved with adoption may need special guidance, support or counselling to cope.

We can offer a range of services for birth parents and relatives, adoptive parents and their children, adopted adults and for professionals working in adoption.

Post Adoption Support

Our partner, Connecting Adoptive Families Independant Services (CAFIS) will help with:

  • adopted adults who are interested in finding out more information about their adoption, birth relatives and their history
  • birth parents seeking counselling
  • Contact issues for children and their birth parents.

Parent and Child Support

Our Kent team deals particularly with adopted children and their families during childhood.

The Adoption & Special Guardianship Support (ASGS) Team provides a confidential service to support:

  • families with adopted children
  • children who are subject to Special Guardianship Orders.

The service is for Kent families who adopted Kent children and those who adopted a child from outside Kent (more then 3 years ago). 

Families need to approach their adoption agency that placed their child, for support if they adopted recently (less than 3 years ago).
