In Hackney, the majority of children waiting to be adopted are of Black or Dual heritage. We need adoptive families who can reflect and promote the ethnicity, culture and religion of these children and offer them stability and a loving home.

You don't have to live in Hackney to adopt a Hackney child, we welcome applicants from all boroughs and neighbouring counties, as long as your home is secure. Whatever your age or marital status, you just need to have the love, space and time to share your life with a child.

For more information on adoption call us or email us

Hackney is part of the ' thinkadoption group ' . The 'thinkadoption group ' is a partnership of six London borough adoption agencies - Barking & Dagenham, Hackney, Newham, Redbridge, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest - which cover the East London area. Our aim is to meet the needs of our children waiting to be adopted. Working in partnership means we are able to provide the very best possible service for these children and for those wanting to adopt.
