Adoption in the Black Country - About Us
Adoption in the Black Country is a joint venture between the four local authorities;
Launched in 2002 our aim is to recruit new adoptive families for children of all ages. Societies change of attitude towards unmarried mothers and the social acceptance of abortion, plus the increased access to contraceptives has resulted in very few babies being given up for adoption.
However, we do have some younger children and we would be very happy to hear from anyone interested in adopting children younger than 5.
Many of the children waiting to be adopted are in sibling groups of 2 or more. They are from a variety of ethnic backgrounds; white, black, Asian and dual heritage. We need families from all social, cultural and religious backgrounds to come forward so we can match these children appropriately.
So, why Adopt with Adoption in the Black Country?
Working in partnership means we are able to offer a greater range of choice for children and adopters. By sharing information about waiting children and approved adopters it enables us to find home for children more efficiently. Our joint approach also enables us to run preparation courses much more frequently. By working together and pooling our knowledge, expertise and resources we are able to support the needs of all those whose lives are affected by adoption.
