Making the decision to adopt is one of the biggest steps anyone can make; it can also be the most rewarding. Adoption is all about making a difference to a child's life by providing a stable, loving and permanent home.

Who can adopt?

There is no such thing as a typical adopter - we are keen to hear from people who have the commitment, energy, patience and understanding to meet the diverse needs of children and help them reach their full potential.

We welcome all applicants over the age of 21 years including:

  • Married couples or couples living together in a stable relationship
  • Same sex couples living together or in a civil partnership
  • Single applicants
  • Applicants from outside the North East Lincolnshire boundaries

We do not discriminate on the grounds of age, class, culture, disability, race or sexual orientation.

If you are interested in finding out more about being an adoptive parent please:

  • contact us direct,
  • complete the online enquiry form on the right side of this page or
