Let's take another look at the campaign video for #NationalAdoptionWeek 2025 🥰
'A Welcome Home' focused on the fact that #adoption isn’t about perfection – it is about creating a space where a child feels safe, loved, and truly at home.

Dez will be talking about his own #adoption journey and how #AdoptionMatters is supporting this year's #NationalAdoptionWeek campaign - 'A Welcome Home' 📺
Over half of our new volunteers are referred via adoption agencies. Couples looking to adopt learn so much about communicating, playing & being around children at KEEN. They bring energy to our sessions, they are committed, engaged & they go on to be incredible parents.

“81% of respondents stated the cuts to the ASGSF had a very negative or negative affect on their child’s mental health. 85% of respondents stated the cuts had a negative or very negative impact on their child’s emotion wellbeing.”
#NationalAdoptionWeek
This #NationalAdoptionWeek, we’re backing the call for honest, open conversations about adoption—no “perfect” home required. In a tough year for adopters, dialogue matters more than ever. 💬💛

It's #NationalAdoptionWeek in the UK and it is sad to read that adopters are in decline. There are more children in need than there are people to take them. If you can't have your own children, and/or if you have lots of love to give, contact your Local Council. Tiring-Yes, but Rewarding-100%! 💖💖💖
It's #NationalAdoptionWeek so perhaps a good moment to share some alternative perspectives.

#NationalAdoptionWeek
#Adoption can bring both love and belonging — and also complex layers of loss, change and identity for children and their families. Every adopted child carries a story, often marked by early experiences of separation, trauma or disrupted attachment.
#TherapistsConnect
It’s #NationalAdoptionWeek in the UK.
As a happily adopted person,
adoption is a theme I keep coming back to in my stories. I’m fascinated by motherhood and what constitutes family. #TheDaughterSheGaveAway
