How do you start the adoption process in the UK?

My husband and I have been ttc for 7 years and I am not optomistic that it will work. We have decided to look into adoption but don't know where to start. Any advice would be gratefully received. Thanks

Have a look in Yellow pages for Adoption Agencies. We used a wonderful agency in Chester. You can also go through your local Social Services department. Good luck, it's worth it!

Private adoption (a la USA) is illegal in the UK as it is prone to unethical practices (as evidenced by the way the 'industry' is practiced in the USA)

The department of social services family division of your local authority will have all the information you need on adoption

All the best

Go through your local authority/council - they will have an adoption dept as part of social services. check their website.
