In Northern Ireland, Adoption UK has over 820 members and we offer a range of support services to adopters and prospective adopters.

If you are interested in adoption, the Regional Adoption and Fostering Service can give you information on the adoption process and direct you to your local agency. You will need to contact either your local Health & Social Care Trust or a voluntary adoption agency. Contact information is listed in our Useful Links page or contact us for advice and information.
