Fostering and Adoption
Fostering involves looking after children or young people in your own home, whilst their family are unable to do so. The majority of children return to their own families.

Adoption is a way of providing new families for children who cannot be brought up by their birth parents. It is a legal process that involves the transfer of all rights and responsibilities from the birth parents to the adoptive parents.
