Whether you feel ready to start your adoption journey today or just want to find out a bit more about adopting a child, you're in the right place.
At One Adoption South Yorkshire, we believe every child deserves a stable, loving home. As your regional adoption agency, we bring together the local adoption expertise of Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield councils into one dedicated team.
By bringing our resources and knowledge together, we can support our adoptive families throughout their journey – from that first phone call to long-term support as your family grows.
Why adopt with us?
- We know our children. We are responsible for finding families for around 100 local children every year. Because we work directly with them, we understand their personalities and needs, ensuring we find them the right match.
- Over 70% of our children are placed with our adopters, who we have personally trained and approved.
- Expertise and Support: We don’t just ‘place’ children; we provide innovative training and long-term services shaped by the voices of our adoptive parents.
- A real community: When you adopt with us, you’ll be welcomed into an extensive network of adoptive families from across the region, who offer each other peer-to-peer support, friendship, and connection. Our active adoption community offer a comprehensive calendar of family events and activities throughout the year, helping you and your child to build friendships and make memories together.
- Working together: We work hand-in-hand with birth families and the voluntary and private sectors to deliver a range of adoption support services.
