Anyone know the criteria to adopt in uk?

I am 21 with 2 young boys 3.5 + 1.5 yrs and wish to adopt. I am married and my hubby 31 is employed I am not. We Live in a 2 bed flat council are we able to adopt?
If possible we wish for a set of twins pref to be mixed british nigerian so they will emotional feel part of the family. When adopting children do we get a say on which child to adopt it sounds like i am being picky but i just want to ensure that the adopted child or children will not feel different as they wont be treat any different from my natural 2 boys.
Additional Details
thank you for the reassurance that we would be able to adopt twins of same ethnic of our own, btw I would never use children to get benfits for myself e.g bigger home, money etc its not worth it.

Unfortunately I have been diagnosed with cervical problems therefore i can not conceive naturally and keep full term.

I also wish to give a chance to a couple children who had a not so good start to their lives.

When I mentioned the home being 2 bed I was wandering whether they would accept young children being brought into a home of such size on conditions we move by a certain date etc.

sorry to say but you wont be considers really as your place is to small for two more children and as you already have children that would put you at the bottom of the adoption list even if you move to a bigger house it will help but sadly not much

You're already in public housing. Looks to me like your looking to the national purse to provide you with a bigger home.

I don't think you'd qualify but in the event that I'm wrong, do contact your local council children and families division

Do you know any mixed race British/Nigerian twins that needs adopting?

The reason that I ask is that living in a house that is too small for 4 children may not be the thing preventing you. I would think that by being as specific as you are you may be waiting a long time.

your home is overcrowded as it is.

you wont be able to use adoption as a way of getting a bigger place.


you will have to prove how tou will support these two extra mouths.


adoption is usually done to match culture with culture so white twins to a white family black twins to Black family etc.
