About Edinburgh Adoption and Fostering Information Event

Join us for our Edinburgh Adoption and Fostering Information Event on Tuesday, 29 October 2024 from 6pm to 7.30pm.

We’ll be joined by one of our adopters, who will tell you about their experiences of adopting and answer your questions.

At the Edinburgh Adoption and Fostering Information Event our social workers will explain:

1. What it’s like to adopt or foster a child
2. The different stages of the adoption and fostering processes

We’ll also be happy to answer any questions you have about adopting or fostering a child.

Whatever stage you are at in your adoption or fostering journey, be it just starting to think about adopting or fostering or really sure that you want to adopt or foster, join us for our Edinburgh Adoption and Fostering Information Event on Tuesday, 29 October 2024 from 6pm to 7.30pm.

Here’s what some of our adopters have said about adopting through us
“St Andrew’s Children’s Society make miracles happen every day, for the kids that need families, and the grown-ups that want to become parents.”

“The prep groups were very informative and gave a realistic view of adoption and the challenges which may be faced. During our home study our social worker also prepared us for what to expect. We felt fully supported and no question we asked felt stupid.”

“St Andrew’s Children’s Society armed us with training, assessed us as capable parents to an adopted child, then journeyed with us during the matching process. They were on hand following placement with many incredibly useful hints and tips on how to handle an array of situations.”

We welcome enquiries from all members of the community including single people, members of the LGBTQ+ community, people who follow a faith and those who don’t.

This is an in person event and will take place in our St Andrew’s Children’s Society adoption and fostering office in Leith, in Edinburgh. Please sign up for the event on Eventbrite so that we can contact you if the event needs to be rescheduled.
