Keeping family groups together....would you adopt siblings?

Brothers and sisters, or sibling groups, are often one of the groups of children who often wait the longest for their forever families. These siblings have such a unique, and powerful bond and they have often been through extremely difficult circumstances and in most situations have been the only constant within each other’s lives. So when it comes to our family groups, we always try our best to keep them together and need adopters who can consider adopting siblings.

We always ask our adopters if they could open their minds and consider whether they could adopt siblings, which we know can seem a little daunting, but rest assured that we have the Adoption Support team to help and support both you and the children.

For our current Do you know our children? campaign I sat down to chat with Andrea, who along with her husband adopted their two boys. We not only find out about their story, but we also talk openly about the challenges that they encountered and the fantastic joys too.

. If hearing andrea’s story has got you considering adopting siblings then we would love to hear from you. You can call our Information Line on 01204 336096 or you can visit our website adoptionnow.org.uk to find out more about adoption, the adoption process and how to start your adoption journey.

If you’re ready to take the first steps on your adoption journey but don’t feel ready to call us just yet, why not book on to one of our Online Information Events? 100% live and free to attend, they are hosted by one of our social workers, along with an adopter guest speaker who tells us their adoption story. We go through the adoption process, what it looks like and how it works and we finish the event with a live Q&A. They are the perfect place to start so head over to adoptionnow.org.uk/events to book your free place.
