Adopt with us

We are a friendly, caring and highly professional local authority adoption agency.

Adopt Birmingham is a Regional Adoption Agency, rated Good with Outstanding Leadership by Ofsted, operating on behalf of Birmingham City Council.

Adoption is a huge decision, and it will take you a lot of time to think about whether you want to take the next step, but we’re here to answer your questions and we’re here to help you at every step.

The adoption approval process normally takes around six months, and it takes patience. Being a parent is a challenge, but it’s amazing. People who do adopt tell us it’s the best thing they’ve ever done and that they wouldn’t change it for the world.
