Profiles of children awaiting adoption

Most of the children awaiting adoption have left their families under difficult circumstances and may have experienced neglect and the effects of drug/alcohol misuse during pregnancy or early years. Most will have been in foster care and may have had a number of foster carers before being adopted. They come from a variety of different communities, ethnic and religious backgrounds, and some will have additional needs or disabilities.

Please note that all the profiles featured below are not of real children waiting. These are examples based on some of the children we are currently family finding for.
