Why fundraise for Adoption UK?
Adoption UK provides adoptive parents with the vital support they need to help adopted children to thrive in a secure, loving family. With your help, we can make a real difference to the lives of adoptive families.
Why do adoptive families need support?
Adoption has changed significantly since the 1970s. Today, there are very few relinquished babies. Instead, the majority of adoptions involve older children removed from abusive or neglectful families.
All adopted children will have experienced some form of loss or trauma. This difficult and traumatic start to life can lead to emotional, attachment, developmental, educational and behavioural difficulties.
Adoptive parents often require ongoing, specialist support to help them meet their child’s needs. However, as the provision of adoption support services is not a statutory entitlement, many adoptive families find themselves struggling in isolation or, sadly, some experience their adoption breaking down completely.
Adoption UK therefore exists to provide adoptive parents with the vital support they need in order to make their adoption succeed and for their child to thrive.
Why does Adoption UK need your support?
Adoption UK is a registered charity that does not receive central government funding. We rely on the generosity of our members and supporters.
