Introduction to Adoption in Hackney.
Adoption takes place within a strict legal framework that applies throughout the UK. Within this framework the London Borough of Hackney is considered to be an adoption agency. We, like all other adoption agencies in the UK, have developed our own procedures and practices to meet the needs of the children for whom we are responsible.
This web site will try to answer many of the questions that people ask when first considering adoption. We have a page that lists many of the more common questions people tend to ask us. If you have a specific question such as "Do I need to have a partner" or "How long does the process of applying to adopt take" that you would like answered you can go there now.
All our other pages contain more detailed information on particular topics, such as what is involved in the assessment of prospective adopters and how children are matched with prospective adopters. You may find it helpful to visit our index.
The very best way to view this web site is to view each page in turn by selecting our next and previous page links below. This way you can really get a feel of what adoption in Hackney is like.
