Once you have considered and decided to apply to adopt what should you do?
If you wish to adopt a white baby you should contact your local social services department directly. You should expect to be placed on their waiting
list of applicants for quite a lengthy period of time before anything happens. Some agencies do not have a waiting list and will only accept applications
for adopters of very young children when the need arises. The period it takes, from your application to the adoption taking place, of a baby varies around the
country but is usually greater than three and can be as much as ten years.
If you want to adopt a baby you can find details of your local social services or adoption agency by

To start the process of applying to adopt a child other than a baby one of the easiest ways is to contact our FREEPHONE
number at the top of this page. We will then put you in touch with a social services department or adoption agency who are looking for adoption
applicants in your area.
You can also make contact with an agency by registering your interest with us now. If you want to do this please complete our simple form.

Alternatively you can find details of an adoption agency or social services / social work department which covers you area in the
