Appeals

At Adoption Focus, we believe all children should have a loving and stable family home. Children who are referred to us for a new family have had a very difficult start in life. 
 
Many of them have experienced abuse, witnessed domestic violence, and/or lived in chaos where the basics of good care are denied them. These children often find it hard to trust their new families and they need our support to thrive.  We work with individuals, couples and families from all kinds of backgrounds to ensure the children who need to be adopted have the best chance of reaching their full potential.
 
Training and support are crucial for our families - both pre-adoption to skill and equip adopters in preparation for parenting children who’ve had adverse childhood experiences; and post-adoption to help families to cope with challenges and difficulties as their children progress through to adulthood.
