People interested in starting their adoption journey are encouraged to attend an in person 'Find out about Adoption' event at County Hall.

The informal session will take place on Wednesday 16 October 2024 at 6:30-8:30pm at County Hall, Glenfield, and will provide an opportunity for people to find out more about the application process and support available to adopt the amazing children waiting for a new home. 

Attendees will also have the opportunity to hear from those who have previously adopted and ask them and the team any questions they may have. 

Deborah Taylor, lead member for children and families said “Our in-person event is a great opportunity to find out more about adoption in a comfortable environment and meet like-minded people who are also considering embarking on an adoption journey”  

Those wanting to attend a ‘find out about adoption’ event can email adoption@leics.gov.uk and a member of the team will be in touch with further details. There are plenty of other ways to get in touch with the team including a new book a chat function.
