Tom and Andy’s Story
"The training made us realise that you are starting a family with all the joys and all the challenges"
Read real experiences from our adopters
Sometimes it helps to hear first-hand accounts from people who have gone through the adoption process, and learn about the highs and lows of their journey.
We’ve gathered together some real adopter stories, so you can discover first-hand accounts of people who have grown their families with Adopt Birmingham.
All our stories are real but some names and identities have been changed to protect anonymity. Photographs are posed by models.
