SUMMARY:Coffee and Chat for LGBTQ+ Week
DESCRIPTION:This is a great opportunity for those that might be thinking about adopting a child or children\, to come along and have their questions answered by those that have done it. This event has been organised as part of the LGBTQ+ Adoption and Fostering celebrations that we take part in annually. \nWe welcome anyone considering adoption – it’s that simple. But\, we appreciate that those from the LGBTQ+ communities may have some specific questions and concerns that relate to their sexual orientation or gender identity\, and how others (including children\, birth families\, and professionals) may process this. \nWe want to assure you\, that there is very little that hasn’t been asked before\, and if we don’t have the answer yet\, we will do our best to work with you and find it. \nThe event is open to anyone interested in adoption\, at any point in their journey. \nView on Eventbrite and book your space

SUMMARY:Information Session
DESCRIPTION:If you’re beginning to explore whether adoption could be the right path for your family\, we warmly invite you to join one of our Information Sessions. These sessions are a friendly and supportive way to learn more about our agency\, understand each stage of the adoption process\, and hear first-hand experiences from families who have already adopted. \nOur adoption social workers will be there to guide you\, answer your questions\, and share their expertise about the assessment process and how we support you throughout your journey. \nOnly one ticket is needed per household. If you are hoping to adopt as a couple (married\, in a civil partnership\, or cohabiting)\, please ensure that both of you attend the session so you can take this first step together. \nAt the end of the session\, we’ll walk you through how to complete an Initial Enquiry should you feel ready to move forward. \nWe’d be delighted to meet you. Please follow this link to book your place: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/adoption-west-27620899279 \nN.B. this session is being held in-person at St. Michael’s Centre\, North Rd\, Stoke Gifford\, Bristol BS34 8PD
