Adoption is life-changing
Year 2024 - 2025
We approved 59 adopters (more than any other adoption agency in the North East of England)
We placed 75 children, including:
19 single children under one
25 single children aged 1- 3 years
11 single children aged 3 - 5 years
6 single children over 5 years
15 children who were part of sibling groups of two or three, made up of one sibling group of three and six sibling groups of two
13 of these started as Early Permanence placements
Adopt North East is a partnership of five Local Authorities - Newcastle, Gateshead, North Tyneside, South Tyneside and Northumberland.
We provide adoption services on their behalf, but adopters don’t need to live in one of those areas to adopt with us. We have found hundreds of forever families for children and supported over a thousand adoptive families.
Adoptive parents come from different walks of life. We consider all applications from people aged over 21 and there is no upper age limit. As long as you have the health and vitality to meet the needs of a child into adulthood, you can adopt.
Let their forever start today.
