People interested in starting their adoption journey are encouraged to attend an in person 'Find out about Adoption' event at County Hall.

The informal session will take place on Wednesday 16 October 2024 at 6:30-8:30pm at County Hall, Glenfield, and will provide an opportunity for people to find out more about the application process and support available to adopt the amazing children waiting for a new home. 

Attendees will also have the opportunity to hear from those who have previously adopted and ask them and the team any questions they may have.
