How to start the adoption process You can contact Adoption Focus at any time to discuss adoption. Whether you're ready to start the adoption process or you're just starting to think about it and would like to gain a little more information, we'll be happy to hear from you. Here's how you can get in touch with us. Call us on 0121 779 0891 Email [email protected] to ask a question or arrange a call back Go to our 'Contact Us' page and fill in the online enquiry form Talk to an adoption expert Every working day we have a duty social available to speak to between 9am and 4.30pm. They will be able to talk you through the process, answer any questions you have and advise you on how to proceed. You can call our main office directly or email us including your phone number to arrange a call back. After you've spoken to our duty social worker we'll send you an information pack and talk about arranging a visit to your home to exchange more detailed information. The next stage after the home visit is to register your interest with Adoption Focus and begin the preparation process by attending one of our preparation groups.
