Considering adopting siblings - June 2023

Date: Saturday 3rd June (in person training - Antrim)

This session is funded by the Health & Social Care Board and free of charge to prospective adopters.

Adoption: : Ever thought about adopting siblings? Have you considered extending your current approval to more than one child? This virtual training is delivered by adopters and will consider the benefits to siblings: brothers/sisters of sharing an adoptive family. The training will be of benefit to prospective adopters, those undergoing assessment and open to considering a sibling placement.

What previous course participants said:

“The entire course really got me thinking about siblings and whether we could adopt a sibling group. This gave us the confidence to make an informed decision.”

“We were able to talk to ‘real’ adopters – the truth, the good, bad and the in-between. Really invaluable”

“The training really helped me to see the world through the eyes of a child and the enormity of the loss of a brother or sister. I realise that it can be easier to have both children together.”
