LGBTQ+ Adoption

Welcoming you, just as you are

At One Adoption, we’re proud that last year 23% of the adopters we approved identified as LGBTQ+. We warmly welcome applications from people of every sexuality and gender.


 

Join our community

When you adopt with us, you’ll become part of a caring community of LGBTQ+ adopters who have already been on this journey. You’ll find understanding, friendship, and people who truly “get it.”

Celebrating strengths and diversity

We believe the unique experiences and perspectives of LGBTQ+ adopters are a real strength. We understand the challenges and barriers that you may have had to overcome, will help you advocate for an adopted child, who often have their own challenges and differences. The love, resilience, and openness you bring are qualities that make you incredible parents.

Extra support for your journey

We know how important it is to feel supported. That’s why every LGBTQ+ adopter who joins us receives Gold membership to New Family Social, giving you access to advice, events, and a network of people walking a similar path.

Standing with you, every step

Each year, you’ll see us out at Pride events across Yorkshire and Humber, showing our support, celebrating with you, and sharing the message that LGBTQ+ people make amazing adopters.
