Our Partners
Alongside our work with with Local Authorities and Regional Adoption Agencies, Adoption Focus works closely with other adoption agencies across the country.
We are members of Permanence West Midlands (West Midlands Regional Family Placement Consortium), the Midland Family Placement Group and the Consortium of Voluntary Adoption Agencies (CVAA). We also work in close partnership with New Family Social, the UK's leading support network for LGBTQ+ adoptive families.
Most importantly, we continually work in partnership with our adoptive families to support them and develop our service in line with their needs and priorities.
Our partnerships mean that we can keep everyone up to date with things happening in adoption, advise you of events in your local areas and make connections with social workers who are seeking new families for their children.
