Adoption
There are many children who are unable to grow up in their birth families, who need the chance to grow up in a loving and secure home.
Adoption is a way of providing families for children who cannot be brought up in their own family, it is a legal process which permanently transfers parental responsibility from birth parents to adoptive parents.
Choosing to adopt is not a decision to be taken lightly, and it's vital that your reasons for wanting to do it are right. It is a process that will take time, effort and commitment on your part.
You will have the help and support of Trafford's Adoption Team every step of the way, our experienced workers will guide you through the adoption process and give advice and assistance.
