Support for adopters
Every family needs support at different times - and adoptive families are no exception. Children who join your family through adoption may have experienced a complex past and could need specialist help. That’s why Adoption Counts is here for you at every stage of your journey.
What We Offer
Comprehensive Support Services
From practical advice to emotional support, we provide a wide range of services for adopters and their children.
A Welcoming Community
When you adopt with us, you become part of a vibrant network that includes:
Social events
Training sessions
Peer support groups
Specialist help if your child needs it
Inclusive Support for Everyone
Tailored services for:
LGBTQ+ adopters
Global majority adopters
Diverse families
Access to Specialist Funding and Psychological Support
As a Regional Adoption Agency, we can apply to the Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund (ASGSF) on your behalf - giving your child access to specialist support if they need it. This is currently capped at £3,000 per year. Voluntary Adoption Agencies are unable to do this.
We’re one of the few agencies in England with an embedded psychology team, ensuring expert advice and care is available across our service, should your child need it.
