Families across Milton Keynes who are looking to grow, and give a child a loving home, are invited to an adoption information event later this month. The in-person event on Wednesday 21 August will cover various aspects of adoption, including how to get the process started and the support available throughout.
Milton Keynes City Council shares an adoption service called Adoption Connects with Central Bedfordshire Council. In the past five years, the team has helped 107 children in Milton Keynes to find an adoptive family, but there are still more children waiting to be matched.
The event on 21 August will be held at the Central Bedfordshire Council offices from 5pm to 6:30pm. It’s open to all individuals, families and couples who are interested in adopting or just want to find out more. To register for a place, please visit: bit.ly/adoption-event-aug-2024.
“Across the country, we’ve seen a significant increase in the number of children needing adoption. We know of seven local children currently waiting to find their forever family, whether that be a single person, a couple who do not have children or established families. If you’ve ever considered adoption or just want to learn more, our event is for you. You’ll have the chance to meet our dedicated adoption team and hear from local adopters about their experience.”
Adoption Connects offers a wide range of free services from training and advice through to financial support and regular social events. Visit www.adoptionconnects.co.uk or contact Adoption Connects on enquiries@adoptionconnects.co.uk or 0300 300 8090.
