If you’re LGBT+ in England you can be the change a vulnerable child needs; either through adoption or fostering. There's record numbers of looked-after children across the UK. They all need and deserve parents and carers from the widest possible pool of people.

Some of these children in care need to grow up with their siblings. Others live with serious medical conditions. Some will receive diagnoses of mental health conditions as they grow up. They may not share your heritage. All deserve loving and supportive adoptive parents and carers. It could be you who helps them reach their full potential.

Find out how to take the first steps to be their change, this LGBT+ Adoption & Fostering Week. Whether you live in Brighton, Birmingham or Bury or anywhere in England, you can adopt or foster if you're LGBT+. 1 in 6 adoptions in England in 2021 were to same-sex couples. You can be the change these children need.
