Family Care Adoption Services AGM  

Family Care were delighted to have Alex Kane speaking to a wide audience of Family Care Staff, Board of Directors, Adoption Panel and invited guests at our 2018 AGM.

Alex spoke eloquently about his own experience of being adopted from a Children’s Home at the age of 6 years, an experience very much like that of many of the children moving from foster care into adoption today.

Alex talked about the deep love and appreciation he feels for his adoptive parents, who were prepared to ‘take a chance’ on a child in need of not just love, but committed care, attention and reassurance, without any guarantee that he would be able to respond to their dedication….which of course he did.

Alex gave a moving and heartfelt endorsement of how adoption can meet the needs of children from Care…both then and now….and described with enthusiasm the positive difference that adoption can make in changing a child’s life forever.

There are still children in care waiting for a fresh start …Children like the 6 year old Alex….Waiting for new parents to ‘take the chance’ of loving them….Could you be who they are waiting for?

We are always waiting to hear from people who are interested in adopting-and we will be with you all the way through your Adoption journey

Right now there are more children waiting to be adopted than there are families approved to adopt.

More children are waiting for a new family than there are families waiting for a child to be placed with them

In particular, children aged 4 or above and children who need to be placed with a brother or sister wait longer to be adopted than any other children.

Adoptive families here in Northern Ireland have always had a strong history of offering these children permanent, loving and secure homes; recognising that all young children need a family of their own, not just babies and toddlers, and that many children need to stay together with a sibling-or even two!

Family Care Adoption Services is proud of its own history in finding ‘forever families’ for all children in need of a new start; babies and toddlers, pre-school and just started school, individual youngsters and those with brothers and sisters.

Many children are out there right now waiting for their own ‘forever families’ and we at Family Care Adoption Services will welcome enquiries from anyone interested in Adoption or in Concurrent Caring across Northern Ireland

Our experienced Social Work staff can offer you an immediate informative response, a thorough professional assessment, the opportunity to be matched with a child/children who fits your family, and a long term supportive relationship for as long as we are needed.

If you are interested in Adoption or Concurrent Caring or would like more information,

Please get in touch with us- We are waiting to hear from you!
