Great fun at this Family Fun Day on board the steam train, via the West Somerset Railway to Minehead! 🚂

We all enjoyed a lovely lunch on the beach, and it was amazing to see one of the kids dive right into the sea for a splash! Such a great day filled with laughter and new memories 💙

You don't need to stop working, but you will need to be able to take at least six months and preferably twelve months off in adoption leave, sometimes longer (the leave can be shared if you are adopting as a couple).

💙 This is driven by the needs of the child. Your child will need time to build a relationship with your family, and it will take time for them to feel safe and secure.

🤲 Sometimes your child may need you to be off work longer, and in exceptional circumstances, financial support may be available from the placing authority.

💻 If you are self-employed and not entitled to adoption leave allowances, then we would need to discuss how to balance the need for work and offering your child the stability that they need.

If you’ve been wondering whether adoption could be part of your story, we’re here to talk, listen, and guide you through what the journey really looks like. Get in touch with us today by enquiring here:

You don’t have to be wealthy to adopt. Yes, money matters, no one’s pretending the cost-of-living increase isn’t concerning or that bills pay themselves, but there’s no set amount of money needed, you just need to be reasonably prepared, and financial stability is only one piece of the puzzle 🧩

The part that matters most: Adoption isn’t about perfection or wealth. It’s about providing safety, consistency, and a place where a child can belong 💙
