About the project

After Adoption finds adoptive families for children in the care system, particularly those who are older, have disabilities, or need to be placed with their brothers and sisters. The charity also provides lifelong support to adoptive families, adults who were adopted as children, and birth relatives of those adopted, through counselling, group work, parenting programmes, search and intermediary work, and family days - to help them deal positively with the difference adoption brings to their lives.

After Adoption was founded in Manchester where the Head Office is based.
