If you’re considering adopting a child, have you considered adopting brother and sisters? To be approved as an adopter
typically takes about between 6-8 months and if you are adopting more than one child in a family group together you would only need to go through this process once.
We are here to answer your questions, why not get in touch?
The new #YOUCANADOPT campaign
aims to encourage potential adopters and
approved adopters to consider adopting
brothers and sisters and highlight the
benefits of adopting the children together.

I've been talking to lots of adopters recently, looking at what motivated them to adopt siblings and this quote really stuck with me today.
"The experience of adopting is as unique as the children we adopt."
"Sisters and brothers are the truest, purest forms of love, family and friendship, knowing when to hold you and when to challenge you, but always being a part of you.”
Today is sibling day and we want to celebrate by sharing the stories of those that have adopted siblings, find out more by visiting http://ow.ly/E1NK50EeiAH

It's National Sibling Day - a day to celebrate all that is great about siblings (and may be nice to your siblings 😀)
Siblings wait longer to be adopted than single children and we want to change this. Please take the time to read some of wonderful stories from real adopters who have adopted brothers and sisters and ask yourself - is this something I could do? If the answer is yes, we would love to hear from you.

We often speak of the positives for the children of staying with their brother or sister, which is of course central to our work, but sometimes we forget to mention there are also simple wins for the adopters too - like only having to do one assessment!
