Find out about fostering and adoption in Brighton & Hove.
We have two separate websites telling you all you need to know about fostering and adoption in Brighton & Hove.
Foster carers provide a safe, stable, nurturing home where a child or young person can live while their own family is unable to look after them.
The Brighton & Hove fostering team and the adoption team work closely together.
Adoption is a separate process from fostering. It is a process which transfers all legal responsibility for a child to their new parent(s).
“Fostering; I always say that our family has the room in our hearts and the room in our home to foster a child.”
