What can I expect?
Children who have been adopted require patience, love and permanency in their life. It’s important that you can understand the child’s needs and set your own agenda aside to be able to provide what the child needs.
I want to adopt. What next?
The first thing you should do if you have decided you want to adopt is contact us for an initial conversation. This is a chance for you to ask questions and find out a little more about the adoption process.
