At Families for Children, they believe that the best place for a child to grow is with their birth families. However, where this is not possible they endeavour to find new adoptive families who can offer them a stable and loving home.
The Trust helps place vulnerable children from all over the UK with new adoptive families in Devon, Dorset, Cornwall, Somerset and the Isles of Scilly. They currently have a real shortage of adopters coming forward and a growing number of children waiting for adoptive families.
Families for Children Trust have a number of upcoming sessions where people can learn about becoming an adopter and how Families for Children can offer a lifetime of support. The meetings currently confirmed in South Devon for 2019 are:
