Adopt with us

Adopt with us

Adoption is when you legally become a child's parent through an Adoption Order secured through the courts resulting in you becoming the child's forever legal parent.  Adoption is the greatest gift that you can give a child who needs parent(s). We are looking for people who have the willingness to open their minds, hearts and homes to a child or children who have had a difficult start in life and need parents. 

Why adopt with us?

We have a dedicated team that supports applicants throughout the adoption process and beyond. If you are successful in being approved as an adopter with us, you would be considered first for Edinburgh’s children.
