LGBTQ+ adoption

This is an extract from Scott and Freddie’s discussion about their adoption journey which you can watch in full here.

“Family Futures treated us like family. They made us feel so welcome and understood.”

In their discussion, Scott and Freddie talk about what kind of support before and after the adoption was helpful, what it’s like to adopt a child as a same sex couple and what advice they would give to other LGBTQ+ people thinking about adoption or fostering.

Could you change a child’s life through adoption?

If you’re considering adoption, you can find out more on our adoption pages, listen to our podcast and get in touch with us if you’d like to discuss further. We’d love to hear from you.

Family Futures welcomes applicants from all backgrounds with a variety of life experiences. You can adopt irrespective of your marital status, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexuality, or whether you are a homeowner, renting, a parent or a non-parent.
