Whilst these are unusual times for everyone, we are still here for anyone about to start or already on their adoption journey, via phone or email (link).

Things may be managed differently and take longer at the current time, but we would still like to hear from you.

 

Adoption services across Wales

Our regional and Voluntary Adoption Agency staff are continuing to deliver. The majority of offices are now closed to the public, but staff are available via e-mail, telephone and video conferencing.  Face to face visits are only taking place in very urgent situations and these will be risk assessed, in terms of the staff, people and places visited, using the public health guidance.

Adoption Register Wales

Use of the Adoption Register Wales will be unaffected but it may be that discussions with social workers may take a little longer than usual. Please bear with us as staff continue to make the necessary adjustments. They will be in touch with you as soon as possible.

 

These are the options for adoption in Wales. Please choose an option to continue.
