As a voluntary adoption agency we do not have a statutory duty to provide post adoption services, but we are here to provide advice and support and are able to listen if you are in need of help. We do not pretend to have all the answers but if we can not provide adequate help we would be able to direct you to more specialist post adoption organisations.
We can provide information and advice to all parties affected by adoption.

Planning and Approaching a Reunion is a leaflet that gives advice to both an adopted person and to birth parents, their families and relatives.
