Find out about our free adoption Information & Advice Line and how to get in touch with us via our enquiry form.

Information & Advice Line

Our Information & Advice Line is open to members of the general public considering adopting from abroad who live in one of our subscribing local authorities. The full list of these local authorities is available here.  

Adopting is a big decision, and adopting from another country can be a tricky process to navigate. We can answer your queries about eligibility, the processes, and what to expect as an adoptive parent.

We do not provide legal advice as we are not a legal practice but we can recommend firms who are experienced in adoption and immigration law where this is needed.

You can leave a message on the Advice Line answerphone, the number is 020 8447 4753. We aim to respond within 3 working days. When leaving your message, and so we can assist you as quickly and effectively as possible, please state:

  • Your name
  • The name of the Local Authority you live in
  • Your email address
  • Details of your query
