We’ve teamed up with online family matching service Link Maker to provide an improved version of our online forum, including live chat and a play date finder. Although the forum is public, you will need to create an account in order to reply to posts or create your own.

Community features:
• You can find other adopters directly, based on where they live and their situation or family make-up.
• You can create friend groups, find play dates and live-chat with other families in safety.

Forum features:
• Forum users will find features such as improved text formatting. 
• All of the old forum content remains available.

Please be aware that the forums are public and so we strongly recommend using an anonymous user name and ask that you please do not share any identifiable details publicly. Our forums are moderated daily and any personal details will be removed. If you are concerned about any posts, please email [email protected].
