6. What's the process of adoption?

The adoption process varies in different parts of the UK, but the basics are the same: initial checks; training and assessment; matching; moving in. As a rough guide, you can expect it to take at least 6 months to reach the matching stage. It’s good to start your journey by reading and talking to people with experience of adoption.
