21st October 2024
Today marks the start of NI Adoption Week 2024, an annual nationwide adoption campaign where we celebrate our adoption community across Northern Ireland, in partnership with Adoption UK.
We want to show our appreciation to our adoptive families, celebrate the lifelong impact of adoption, and raise awareness about the children who wait longest for adoption including older children, sibling groups and children with disabilities/additional needs.

| “As an adoptive parent you get to support a child or children who will have experienced trauma and loss. You work hard to help them heal, addressing their unique needs and providing a safe and happy home. The rewards are unreal, the laughs, jokes, achievements. Shared adventures and magical milestones. There is nothing better than family.
We have watched our boys grow into funny, happy confident kids, shared so many happy times and marvel every single day at how amazing they are. The love you have for your kids as a parent is limitless.” – Mary, adoptive parent |
