Inter-country adoption

Inter-country adoption is an alternative means of providing a family for a child whose country of origin considers them to need an adoptive home.

Adoption permanently transfers the legal responsibility of care to the adoptive parents providing a child with a new, secure and permanent family to grow up in.

We are responsible for assessing couples and individuals who live in North Somerset and want to adopt from outside the UK. If you are interested contact our Adoption Team or fill in our Adoption interest form.

An assessment will then be carried out and presented to our Adoption Panel for a decision.

For further information please contact our Adoption Team or visit the Inter-country Adoption Centre website.
