After Adoption

We will always be pleased to continue to support our Adopters. Post-approval adoption support groups meet on a regular basis and a duty officer is available during working hours to offer advice and support as required. Adopters also have access to an out of hours phone line staffed by members of the Fostering and Adoption Team.
