Adoption & Fostering in UK

What is Adopt South? Adopt South is the partnership Regional Adoption Agency for Hampshire County Council, Isle of Wight Council, Portsmouth City Council and Southampton City Council. By joining our adoption services together, we have brought the best practice and experience from each of our four local authorities. This means it's easier to match a child with an adopter in any of the councils. It also means adopters, adoptive children and their birth families can use the combined services of the four authorities. It gives them the opportunity to come to events, speak to professionals or get post-adoption support from across Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Portsmouth and Southampton. Adoption is easier than you think. We welcome individuals and couples from all different backgrounds and beliefs. There is no upper age limit - single, couples, LGBT+, disabled, BAME backgrounds and you can be claiming Universal Credit or live in rented accommodation. Contact us and find out about the adoption journey on 0300 3000 011, or request a call back.

" I've heard people talk about the rewards of fostering and it is something that I find impossible to sum up in words. It is just a fantastic feeling to know that our family has helped a girl to become so much more mature and confident than when she first came to us. It is a daily pleasure to see her smiling and happy." Fostering and Adoption Every day single people as well as couples become foster families or adopters. They include parents and grandparents as well as people who do not have their own children. They all go on to change a child's life and get a lot of fun and fulfilment in return.

The agency is based in Bournemouth and covers Bournemouth and the surrounding areas of Poole, Dorset and some parts of Hampshire. Our philosophy is based on the principle that big is not always better. We believe by concentrating on one local area, we can develop an expert knowledge of the services in the community to ensure our children genuinely receive the best they deserve. It also means our foster carers are real people to us and not just names on paper. This helps us all work effectively together and makes certain everyone feels they belong.

By providing nurturing, secure family placements, the most vulnerable child has the opportunity to grow, develop positive relationships and achieve the best possible outcome in life.

All children in care are "looked after" by their own local authority. It is therefore the responsibility of Foster Swansea to find suitable homes for children and young people. We believe that by increasing our pool of Foster Swansea carers we can provide better outcomes for children and also better outcomes for our carers.
