Adoption Matters
Individual and Family Services
Children's charity and 'Outstanding' adoption agency covering North of England, Yorkshire, Stoke, Staffs & Shropshire.
About us
Adoption Matters is a children’s charity and one of the largest Voluntary Adoption Agencies (VAAs) in the UK. We recruit, train and support individuals and families as adopters and offer them ongoing support and training for as long as they need it. In 2024, we are growing the Adoption Matters family to launch Foster Care Matters, a not-for-profit fostering agency covering the North West. Ofsted Outstanding since 2008, we are the ONLY adoption service in the UK to achieve FIVE Ofsted Outstanding ratings in a row. We are an independent organisation and our priority is to find stable, loving homes for children through adoption and Early Permanence. In early 2024, we are launching a new not-for-profit fostering agency, Foster Care Matters.

#AdoptionMatters is proud to support the #SoundOfHope: The Story of Possum Trot UK film release 🎬 Inspired by the powerful true story, the film follows Donna and Reverend Martin as they ignite a fire in the hearts of their rural community to embrace children in the foster system that nobody else would take. By doing the impossible – adopting 77 children – this East Texas community proved that, with real, determined love, the battle for America’s most vulnerable can be won. The film was Executive Produced by Letitia Wright, who is passionate about raising awareness of the story. Whilst the film does not portray modern UK #adoption and we know that US and UK adoption is very different, we hope that the film will inspire people to think about the children waiting here in the UK and to think about both adoption and #fostering. 📸 Find out more and see some photos of our CEO, Susy White, attending the movies launch here: https://buff.ly/3U5pZrM - #SoundOfHopeMovie #AdoptionAwareness #FosterCareAwareness #Movie
