Our online advice forums are an anonymous space where parents and kinship carers (also known as family and friends carers) can get legal and practical advice, build a support network and learn from other people’s experiences.

The adoption team offers a wide range of support to birth families, including helping parents to understand the adoption process and meeting with the prospective adopters where appropriate. We can help with contributing to a child’s life story book/work and providing support to siblings of the adopted child/ren who remain in care. We provide support around direct contact and with counselling for birth parents who are considering relinquishing a child for adoption (consensual adoption). We also advise on the referral process for families wanting to adopt from overseas.
