Fostering and Adoption

Adoption

If you are thinking about adopting a child, or would simply like to know more about your options, please contact us

Foster Care

If you can provide a loving family home for a child or young person, fostering may be for you

Fostering Opportunity - Torfaen's MyST project

MyST (My Support Team) is a multiagency partnership working to help children who are looked after, remain in their local communities

Kinship Foster Care

Kinship foster care means that children, whose parents are unable to look after them on a short or long term basis, are cared for by other relatives or by other adults who have a connection to the child

Parent and Child Foster Placements

Can you provide a parent with the opportunity to parent their own child in a safe and stimulating environment?

Private Fostering

Private fostering is an arrangement made by parents, or someone with parental responsibility, for their child (under 16 years) to be cared for away from home (For longer than 28 days) by another adult who is not closely related to the child

Special Guardianship Orders

A Special Guardianship Order is a legal way of providing long-term stability for a child who cannot return to live with their birth parents and for whom adoption is not appropriate
