There are many reasons why you may decide to adopt. Here at Western Bay we know whatever the reason, yours will be personal to you.
It may be that you have a desire to be a parent but fertility issues mean that you cannot have a birth child. Or you may be gay and adoption feels the perfect way to build your family. You may already have a family but still have space for another child.
Whatever your reason, adoption is a way of providing a permanent family for children – and it’s extremely rewarding. Adoption is for life so it’s a big decision to make for anyone. It doesn’t just change the child’s life for the better; it alters your life too – in every way!
Please read though our detailed Information Pack. At the back is a Registration of Interest form (ROI). If you wish to be contacted by us and have a visit to begin the process, please fill in the ROI and send it to us or make a call to us. Alternatively, complete the enquiry page giving your details and we will contact you as soon as possible.
