Adoption Connects

01/10/2026

Children in England who need adopting now spend an average of 646 days without a permanent family and home. That’s nearly two years before they can share the everyday moments, from bedtime stories and morning school runs to sofa snuggles, with a lifelong family.

This month, we’re sharing stories from real people who have adopted, and the numbers and everyday moments that mean the most to their families.

Adoption isn’t about perfection. Life can be messy, chaotic, busy and imperfect. It’s showing up every day and sharing the ordinary moments that matters.

You don’t need to have everything figured out to take the first step. Join one of our adoption information sessions to ask your questions and find out more.

Christina & Ed adopted their daughter Jasmine when she was just 4 years old.

For their family, it's the everyday moments that mean the most - from Jasmine's first smile each morning to the final "love you" before bed ❤️

Adoption is about creating a place where a child can feel loved and secure - not just today, but every day 🏡
