Adoption

Adoption Now is your Regional Adoption Agency combining the Local Authorities: Blackburn with Darwen, Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale and Tameside. We also work in partnership with two Voluntary Adoption Agencies Caritas Care and Adoption Matters.

At Adoption Now, we successfully place around 180 children from the North West every year, and provide support to families to enable them to achieve their dream of becoming parents. We would love you to consider adopting with our agency and we will be with you every step of the way.
