Did you know Barnardo’s Fostering & Adoption NI is just one of a small group of voluntary adoption agencies here in Northern Ireland?
In this very special panel discussion, to mark Adoption Week, Adoption Routes, Family Care Adoption Services and Barnardo’s Fostering & Adoption NI, got together to discuss what it is like to adopt via a voluntary agency, their assessment and matching processes and the kinds of support and post-adoption care you can expect.
The session was followed by a Q&A session.
Meet the Panel:
Lesley Delaney from Adoption Routes
Brian Downey from Family Care
Hilary Armstrong from Barnardo’s Fostering & Adoption
