🌟 It’s Adoption Week! 🌟
This week, we’re celebrating the incredible families who have opened their hearts and homes through adoption, and the children whose lives have been transformed through love, stability and belonging. 💛
One of our amazing families recently shared their story of adopting three siblings, and we couldn’t think of a better example of what adoption is all about:
“Adopting three siblings has been the most amazing thing for our family. They’ve changed our lives in the most incredible way.”
Their journey reminds us that adoption doesn’t just change one life, it transforms everyone involved. It’s about connection, growth and creating a family built on love.
If you’ve ever thought about adopting, there’s no better time to explore what’s possible. We’ll guide and support you every step of the way.

🔍 Have you ever wondered why most adoptions in the UK are open rather than closed?
At AFA, we believe that openness, when managed carefully and sensitively, can create healthier relationships, a stronger identity, and a better sense of belonging for adopted children.
Our recent blog explores just that: how openness in adoption benefits children, birth families, and adoptive parents alike. We look at different levels of openness, what it practically means, and how it helps identity, connection, and well-being.

💙 Thinking about adoption, but not sure whether to go through a Local Authority or a Voluntary Adoption Agency?
It’s one of the most common questions we’re asked, and the good news is, there’s no wrong answer. Both routes lead to the same goal: finding loving, permanent homes for children who need them most.
Our latest blog explains the key differences between local authority adoption and voluntary adoption.
At Adopters for Adoption, we’re a national Voluntary Adoption Agency (VAA). That means we work closely with local authorities to find the right matches for children across the country. Our focus is always on providing personal, tailored support — so you’re never on this journey alone.
If you’re exploring adoption, this blog is a great place to start.

October marks Black History Month, a time to celebrate, remember, and commit to progress. This year’s theme is “Standing Firm in Power and Pride,” a powerful call to honour resilience, leadership, and identity.
At AFA, we believe that every child and every family carries stories, strengths, and legacies. In this spirit, we’re proud to share stories like Funmi’s that remind us that adoption is about more than family; it’s about belonging.
This month, we celebrate resilience, pride, and the voices that continue to inspire us all. 🖤

Meet Funmi, a 55-year-old single mum, she shares how her faith guided her inspiring adoption journey.

👐 On September 23rd, we mark International Day of Sign Languages.
Today, we celebrate the beauty of sign languages and their vital role in connecting people and communities.
At Adopters for Adoption, we believe every child deserves to be fully seen and heard. For children who are deaf or struggle with hearing, this means embracing sign language and ensuring their communication needs are supported with love and understanding.
✨ Inclusion starts with communication, and every child deserves that sense of belonging.
