Do you have questions about adoption? Would you like to speak to us in person?

Adopt South are offering 45 minute private, one to one conversations for anyone interested in finding out more about adoption.

Our relaxed in-person chats with you take place in a comfortable meeting room at our offices in Swanwick. You will be welcomed by a member of our team at reception and guided to one of our meeting rooms. We will have refreshments available including tea, coffee etc.

Last year, Adopt South matched 97 children across Hampshire, Portsmouth, Southampton, and the Isle of Wight with their forever families. These included toddlers, young children, siblings, and children with additional needs. Families of all kinds: single parents, couples, and those with existing children, opened their hearts and homes.

We are here to support you at every step of your adoption journey. We can talk to you about the assessment process and the needs of our children, as well as anything you have been thinking about. We will go at the pace that’s right for you and there’s no pressure or obligation to share your personal information beyond your name and contact details. You are welcome to come on your own, as a couple or bring a family member or friend for support.

Many people find that having an initial conversation with us helps them to personally understand more about adoption. Whichever feels best, you are welcome to begin your journey with a one-to-one conversation or go straight to booking onto one of our ‘cameras off’ fortnightly Online Adoption Information Events.

We look forward to welcoming you. If this date and time isn’t convenient, please visit our website (https://www.hants.gov.uk/socialcareandhealth/adoptsouth/adoptsouthevents) to view other ways to meet us.

Thank you

Adopt South Team
