Caritas Care has been bringing children and families together for nearly a century. Our long history means we understand the realities of adoption and the importance of preparing and supporting families with care and professionalism. This means you can rely on our experienced team to guide you through each stage of the adoption process with honesty, transparency, understanding and encouragement.

From your first phone call to long after your child comes home, we are entirely in your corner.

You’ll receive guidance throughout assessment, training and the process of finding the right child for your family, as well as ongoing post-adoption support whenever you need it. Adoption doesn’t end when a child comes to live with you and neither does our support

We welcome adopters from all walks of life. No matter your background, faith, sexuality, relationship status or life experience, we believe everyone who can offer a safe and loving home deserves the opportunity to adopt. As an inclusive charity, we celebrate diversity and support families that reflect the communities children grow up in.

As a Voluntary Adoption Agency (VAA), we are not limited by local authority borders. We work nationwide to find the right match for both you and the child.

Searching across the UK increases opportunities to create strong, lasting family matches, helping children waiting for adoption find the stability and belonging they deserve.

You’ll be supported by an experienced and trusted agency. As Ofsted noted, “prospective adopters feel exceptionally well supported throughout their assessment,” giving you confidence that you’ll be guided every step of the way on your adoption journey.

Our experienced social workers provide thoughtful, analytical assessments designed to prepare you fully for parenting a child through adoption and help you feel confident in meeting a child’s needs.

Adoption is about building a lifelong future together. We provide training, resources and ongoing learning opportunities to help you grow in confidence as a parent.

Our main focus is on empowering families to flourish, creating stable, nurturing homes where children can grow and achieve their potential.
