Adoption in Essex
Essex Adoption Service is an adoption agency committed to providing the best service and support for adopted children and their families. We’re proud of our reputation and 'Outstanding' Ofsted rating.
We're part of the Adopt East alliance. Adopt East is a regional adoption alliance which brings together the professionalism, skills and expertise of eight local authorities and two voluntary adoption agencies, from across the East of England and in partnership with Adoption UK.
We also work closely with New Family Social who offer support and advice for professionals and LGBTQ+ people.
Adoption England is a collaboration of regional adoption agencies working together with a small central team working nationally, aiming to improve adoption practice and develop support and services to better meet the needs of children and families. The Adoption England website offers information and training resources for prospective adopters and people affected by adoption.
