Local Authority Adoption Services

Local Authority Adoption Services are government-run organizations that help facilitate the adoption process for children in care. They assess and prepare families who wish to adopt, ensuring they are suitable and ready for the responsibilities of adoption. These services also work to match children with adoptive families, focusing on the best interests of the child. Additionally, they provide support and guidance throughout the adoption journey, including post-adoption services for families and children to ensure a smooth transition and ongoing stability. Their ultimate goal is to find loving, permanent homes for children who cannot live with their birth families.
