Adoption is a lifelong commitment to provide a permanent family for a child or children in care.
When you adopt a child, you take on all the responsibilities and rights of a birth parent.
Adoption East Midlands
Rutland is now part of Adoption East Midlands - an organisation that's made up of local authority and voluntary adoption agencies who operate across the East Midlands to improve the prospects for children needing to be adopted and people looking to adopt.
By working closely together, Adoption East Midlands can more effectively find the best matches for children across the region.
Please visit the Adoption East Midlands website for further information about adoption and visit our support page to see how we will help you through the adoption process, and provide guidance after you have adopted.
