If you live in Wales and are interested in adoption we’d love to speak to you.
Here, adopting is a team effort, and you can count on our dedicated community of adoptive parents and staff to be by your side every step of the way. You can stay in touch with us on Facebook or contact us using the details below.
We’d love to talk to you about how you could change a childhood, and a life.
We’re members of the National Adoption Service (NAS). NAS is a group of local authority and voluntary adoption agencies (like us) based in Wales. We work together to promote and support best practice in adoption across the country. Find out more about the National Adoption Service.

Who can adopt?
We welcome people from all walks of life and backgrounds. There are so many things about you that will help make you a great adoptive parent, but there are some practical things you need too.
Adoption process
Welcoming a child or young person into your life is an incredible thing to do - and a big decision to make. We'll make sure you have the information you need to work out if it's right for you and where you are in your life and what you can expect from the application process.
How we’ll support you
We listen and respond to the needs of our adopters, which is why we offer a comprehensive preparation, training and support adoption programme, including access to support groups, adopter forums and adoptive family social events.
How Anamica and Prashan found adopting with us
The first time Anamica went on a date with Prashan, she told him she was interested in adoption. When they married they decided they would look at adoption alongside trying for a biological child. A few years down the line, when they found they wouldn’t be able to have a biological baby, they knew adoption was the route for them.
Now their lives and South Wales home have been transformed by Neel, a bright eyed two-year-old who the couple adopted through our Cymru Adoption and Fostering Service.
