Nugent Adoption believes that all children should have the right to family life and that they should be brought up in families that can provide stable, loving care, guidance and a sense of self-worth, identity and belonging. There are some children who, for a variety of reasons, are not able to live with their birth families and need alternative permanent families.
Nugent Adoption seeks to recruit prospective adoptive parents to meet the needs of children requiring adoptive placements. Although prospective adoptive parents may contact us in response to an advertising campaign, we also receive direct enquiries from people who have heard of us and of our excellent reputation!
Meeting the needs of the children is our biggest priority. They will have a range of needs depending on their individual circumstances but these can include:
Children with a learning disability or physical disability
Brothers and sisters who need to stay together
Children whose development might have been delayed
Children for whom their future development is uncertain
Older children
Children where there is a parental history of substance misuse
Children where there is some family history of mental health problems
Children who have been waiting too long for permanence
what is a voluntary
adoption agency?
Voluntary adoption agencies collaborate to highlight choices for prospective adoptive parents.
Independent adoption agencies from across the UK have joined forces to highlight the choices available to people considering becoming a parent through adoption.
