Hampshire Adoption Services

In order to meet the government's 'Adoption and Fostering: Tackling Delay' agenda, Hampshire is making a significant investment in these services over the next 2 years and are now welcoming applications from a variety of prospective adopters.

Current Priorities and Needs

We are looking for prospective adopters with some experience of supporting children and are particularly keen to hear from those who are willing to learn about therapeutic re-parenting.

We welcome prospective adopters from all sections of the community regardless of race, culture, sexuality and relationship status.

Want to find out more?

We hold regular information sessions should you wish to find out more about adoption.

If you feel you have the skills to meet our needs we would very much like to hear from you. However, given these priorities you may feel that this is not the right time to apply.

Our website is regularly updated to outline our specific requirements.
