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.
What support will I get?
Before and after adoption, we'll support you every step of the way.
