The Family Care Placement Team is overjoyed to share a heartwarming update on their incredible work over the last 12 months. Since, July 2022, our hardworking team have successfully placed 7 children for adoption with their approved adoptive families.

 

These children, ranging in age from 6 months to 5 years old have been welcomed to their new homes and their journey was filled with the tireless efforts of the Family Care Placement Team, who worked diligently to match each child with parents who are committed to providing a stable and permanent home.

 

In June 2023, the agency experienced a profound sense of joy and fulfilment as Adoption Orders were granted to two of their extraordinary families. Andrew* and John* welcomed their adorable daughter, Emily* into their lives. Similarly, Peter* and Linda* opened their hearts and home to their little girl, Sarah*, forming an unbreakable bond that promises a lifetime of love and care.

 

It has been an incredible journey witnessing the growth and development of these two families. Emily and Sarah have made remarkable progress since they moved to their new homes. It is the love and commitment of these families that has the power to change the course of a child’s life, giving them the chance to thrive in a nurturing and secure environment.

 

If you feel that you could provide a child or siblings with a stable and permanent home through adoption, we would love to hear from you.

At Family Care Adoption Services, we were delighted to host a post adoption family day at the Jungle NI. Despite the less-than-perfect weather, our spirits remained undampened as we embarked on a day full of adventure!

 

The primary objective of our post adoption gatherings is to provide families with the opportunity to establish meaning bonds amongst themselves. The event featured a variety of engaging activities, including archery, bungee trampolines, indoor rock climbing, pedalo boat rides, a quad train, and a rodeo bull. These activities were selected to encourage interactions and promote a sense of togetherness and camaraderie in children and parents alike.

 

Upon arrival, the families were warmly welcome and invited to participate in the planned activities. Children, brimming with anticipation, eagerly explored the diversions, engaging in archery and delighting in bungee trampolines. The indoor rock-climbing wall presented a test of skill and determination and the rain thankfully eased to allow shared experiences on the pedalo boats and quad train ride. The rodeo bull, though challenging, was a source of amusement for both children and adults!

 

Throughout the day, moments of laughter and encouragement resonated across the venue and in quieter venues, families congregated over a delicious lunch to converse, sharing stories and insights related to their adoption experiences. The occasion facilitated a natural bond among the families, drawing on their common journey of parenthood.

 

At Family Care, events like these reinforce the significant need for connections within a supportive community of families. This event highlighted our agency’s commitment to fostering a nurturing, open and friendly environment, ensuring that the families are provided with opportunities to share in the joys and challenges of their family journey’s.

 

We would like to thank families who attended our event for their presence and for being an integral part of our community here at Family Care!
