Adoption & Fostering Information Events – up to 31 March 2023

8th September 2022

If you are interested in hearing more about becoming a foster carer or an adopter, we have a number of fostering and adoption information events taking place over the next few months.

There is a mix of face to face events in local areas as well as virtual information sessions, so hopefully there’s something to suit everyone.

These are drop in events for anyone in Northern Ireland, no need to register – just come along (face to face event) or use the Teams/Zoom links provided below (virtual events). You can also keep an eye on our social media channels to see when the next one is coming up and for the log on details.

Our fostering and adoption teams will be delighted to see you and give you as much information as they can to help you make your decision about whether fostering or adoption is right for you and your family.

Links to the virtual sessions will be populated closer to each event.
