As a charity supporting vulnerable children, we regularly need to provide adoptive families with additional support.
About us
Adoption Focus is a dedicated and experienced voluntary adoption agency based in the West Midlands, rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted at every inspection. Our overarching vision is loving and supportive family life for every child. In the last 10 years we have placed more than 420 children with new adoptive families. We believe all children should have a loving and stable family home. We work with individuals, couples and families from all backgrounds to achieve this for children who need to be adopted. We recruit, prepare and assess prospective adopters. As soon as they are approved, we work with local authorities from across the country to place children with them. The children who need new families are as varied as the adopters who want to care for them. Adoption Focus specialises in finding families for children considered ‘harder to place: children aged four and over; children in sibling groups; children from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups; and children with disabilities. We specialise in adoption and offer lifelong support for all of our families – from the moment prospective adopters first contact us and through the years ahead, as the children transition through to adulthood. 'Nurture the Journey' is a bespoke package, tailored to the needs of each family and is the cornerstone of our support programme. This support is available to all of our adopters and their children indefinitely, whenever and for as long as they need them. At Adoption Focus, our adoptive community is thriving – more people than ever are getting in touch to find out more about adopting with us. We have a highly experienced, professional team to support our growing community within an ever-changing landscape. We have ambitious plans to continue to develop our services to support the evolving needs of our adopters and their families. “I adopted my angel when she was 3. She is now nearly 10. Best thing I ever did. Love her to bits” – Adoption Focus adopter, December 2019

We have teamed up with The Good Travel Agent, who can book all your travel arrangements from a weekend break to that dream holiday, all at the same prices you would get if you went directly to the big suppliers. The big difference for us is that if you book via the website below or when you phone quote “Adoption Focus” we get a donation from the commission, so you don’t pay any extra, and we get a free donation. https://buff.ly/3X3DWZ2

Announcing our new Travel Partnership with the Good Travel Agent
Midlands-based adoption agency Adoption Focus has announced a new partnership with The Good Travel Agent. Under the new partnership, the agency will receive a donation from the agent when customers quote ‘Adoption Focus’ when booking travel arrangements via the website or by phone. The Good Travel Agent is able to book travel arrangements from a weekend break to a dream holiday, at same prices of the big suppliers. The Good Travel Agent was co-founded by Jake Cullum-Hollins, who decided to make the agency his charity partner after adopting his two boys through Adoption Focus. Jake (pictured) said: “We absolutely loved the work that Adoption Focus did when we adopted our two boys. “We decided to partner with them to help them to continue their amazing work. So, every time you book a trip with us, we will donate to Adoption Focus.” https://lnkd.in/e4rrb3rg #ChamberRMteam Samantha Frampton Gary Birch Robert J. Mitchell Anna Sharkey Jo Lee
