Adoption

Torfaen County Borough Council is a UK adoption agency and matches children waiting for adoption with adults who want to adopt. 
 
Adoption is a legal process in which (among other things):
  • A child legally becomes the son or daughter of adoptive parents
  • All rights and responsibilities for a child transfer from the child's natural parents to the adoptive parents
  • A child usually takes the surname of the adoptive parents.

There are different kinds of children, with a wide range of needs, waiting to be adopted in Torfaen, so we're looking for different kinds of people to become adoptive parents. 

 

If you adopt a child with us, we will give you support and guidance throughout the process; our social workers will discuss your initial thoughts with you, find out exactly what kind of children you are looking for and help you with any queries you might have at any stage.
