Ofsted Outstanding-rated adoption agency Adoption Focus will be hosting a free information event in Loughborough later this month. Couples and single people from all backgrounds with an interest in starting the adoption process are invited to attend and find out everything they need to know.

The event will be held at Gorse Covert Community Centre in Loughborough on Saturday 26th October, starting at midday. There will be a presentation lasting about an hour, and attendees will have plenty of opportunity to get their questions answered by the team on the day. They can also arrange a time for a more detailed follow-up chat with an experienced adoption social worker.

Adoption Focus Director of Resources Howard Parker said:

“There is a real and urgent need for more adopters right now. Vulnerable children are waiting longer and longer to be placed in safe, loving, long-term homes and we are very keen to hear from anyone in the Midlands who is considering adoption as a way of growing their family.

Adoption Focus has placed more than 700 children with new families since 2009.
