Adoption Matters is a children’s charity and one of the largest Voluntary Adoption Agencies (VAAs) in the UK. We recruit, train and support individuals and families as adopters and offer them ongoing support and training for as long as they need it. In 2024, we are growing the Adoption Matters family to launch Foster Care Matters, a not-for-profit fostering agency covering the North West. Ofsted Outstanding since 2008, we are the ONLY adoption service in the UK to achieve FIVE Ofsted Outstanding ratings in a row. We are an independent organisation and our priority is to find stable, loving homes for children through adoption and Early Permanence. In early 2024, we are launching a new not-for-profit fostering agency, Foster Care Matters.
