LGBTQ+ adoption

At Adoption Counts we are very proud that last year 1 in 3 of the families that we matched were LGBTQ+. This is well above the national average of 1 in 4 in England.

Sexual orientation does not affect your application to adopt, and it does not matter if you are single, in a civil partnership, married or co-habiting – all applications are treated equally.

Working with others

In line with our commitment to creating LGBTQ+ families, we are one of New Family Social’s LGBTQ+ friendly agencies and so if you adopt with us you automatically get Gold Membership with them.

We are also proud partners of Proud2beParents, the organisation that supports LGBTQ+ carers, parents and parents to be in Greater Manchester and across the North West.

As a regional adoption agency we attend the Pride events across Manchester and Cheshire East and we are always delighted to catch up so many of the families we’ve been privileged to be a part of creating. Follow our social channels to see which Pride events we will be at this year.
